ques.re: mother's history/daughter's anovulationFrom: SDG (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 30 Aug 1999 13:41:46 -0500 (CDT)
I am 60 years old. At the age of 27 I normally delivered my third baby. Two weeks after birth I experienced severe pelvic pain. My ob/gyn examined me and came up with no explanation but did prescribe antibiotics. Constipation became a big problem. Six weeks after delivery the doctor suggested "exploratory surgery," as there was a hardness on my right side and constipation was constant. The surgery determined bilateral dermoid cysts; the right ovarian cyst was the "size of a grapefruit," the left ovarian cyst the "size of an orange." The right fallopian tube was attached to the bowel by twisting around it, and someplace there was gangrene (bowel or tube?). The right ovary and tube were removed. The left ovary was partially removed along with the cyst. This whole procedure was in my doctor's words: "medical history and written up in a medical journal." Keep in mind--this was 33 years ago and patients had complete trust in their doctors, without questioning too much. His explanation was that these cysts were either remnants of a twin of me or of my daughter. That I've wondered about from the beginning, but as time goes by, I have forgotten because my health has been ok and I've gone on to other things in life! Now my 33-year-old daughter is diagnosed with anovulation. She had a normal delivery 3 1/2 years ago, a miscarriage 7 mos. ago. She has always had irregular periods since menses at age 12. *My question is this: Can there be a correlation of my having the dermoid cysts while carry her and her anovulation today? Thank you.
