Ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts?
Theres a forum on Yahoo about those who may be having a Uturary Artery Embolization (i think its spelled) but its a procedure where doctors go in and block the blood that feeds the cyst and it causes them to shrink. Many people have cyst on their uterus you'd be surprised. Most are non cancerous. But I understand your nervous about finding out-I hope the best for you.


Check out the forum.

Reply:Ovarian cancer is one of the rarest cancers around, but cysts are incredibly common, especially around menopause when your hormones are changing.





I had a cyst and had to do the CA125 test too (albeit I was 16). I had it removed surgically, and haven't had a problem since.





But really, the best thing you can do is get this sorted out as quickly as possible. The sooner you know what's wrong, the sooner you can fix it.





Good luck.
Reply:It would be rare that it would be ovarian cancer although you are at an advanced risk because of your age. I have had so many cysts I am 36 that i cannot count them.





It is good that you are monitoring the cyst and your doctor will be able to tell you what kind of cyst it is, simple cyst, hemmoragic cyst, complex cyst ect......you have a lot of hormonal changes going on which could cause this to be happening





Regardless it is something to be monitored closely by an ob/gyn...good luck my prayers are with you i know it is scary.
