Question 1

need advice on what is the the difference between polycystic ovaries and getting ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

Different cysts: Polycystic ovaries contain many very small follicles - "cysts." these are less than 1cm, and related to anovulation and hormone alterations. Ovarian cysts would normally be 2cm or larger, may happen after ovulation, or be related to some type of ovarian tumor, endometriosis, or other reasons.

Question 2

is 99-99.4temp for 2yrs a fever?never had temp above normal before.had ovarian cyst surgery 2yrs back bt ultrasound is normal, have polycystic ovaries.

Accepted Answer

Fever: Fever is not normal, particularly for a 2 year period, but single temperature recordings are not necessarily helpful. Keep a careful record of temps and the times taken 4 times a day and add in any other symptoms to the list and take with you to a doctor. Perhaps an infectious diseases expert.

Question 3

can complex ovarian cysts cause polycystic ovarian disease?

Accepted Answer

No: That would be like saying that pimples cause acne.  Complex ovarian cysts may be one of several manifestations of polycystic ovarian syndrome (pco).  Others can include few (or no) periods, hair growth on the face/body, weight gain, dark patches on the neck and underarms, and higher blood sugars.

Question 4

i had an polycystic ovarian cyst so i had an surgery 2 years back so my one ovary and fallopian tube is removed..i gained weight.is there any risk in future..can any problem will occur in future?

Accepted Answer

Future symptoms : If you experienced ovarian torsion due to a large cyst it may occur in the remaining ovary. The best you can do is be aware of the symptoms and present immediately for care if they occur so you can get the ultrasound +/- CT scan if needed. ACOG found weight loss can help you maintain menstrual regularity and avoid diabetes in future. Follow closely with MD to avoid metabolic complications.

Question 5

lt ovary removed due to large ovarian cyst & rt ovary is polycystic in appearance if tests confirmed i had pcos what are my chances of having kids?

Accepted Answer

With treatment : They are only slightly decreased if you get proper treatment. All in all it is just somewhat harder but very possible. Hope this helps.

Question 6

is there a difference between polycystic ovaries and polycystic ovarian syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The ovaries are polycystic and the syndrome refers to the medical issues related to polycystic ovaries such as menstrual cycle changes, hair growth patterns, weight, infertility, insulin resistance and increased risk of uterine lining overgrowth/cancers.

Question 7

good day,i'm 25 ,my ultrasound impre,
polycystic ovarian cyst,is it curable?im afraid that  i cant b pregnant n the future?,thnks!

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle changes: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a very complex disorder. It can be associated with infertility, but this is not always true and many women do become pregnant. However to enhance your chances at pregnancy, you have to be regular and in order to have regular periods you need to live a balanced, and healthy lifestyle. Make sure that your diet and your weight are normal. See a doctor for more advice

Question 8

i had an ovarian cyst last year and had a surgery in removing d dermoid cyst .. part of my ovary was removed ..can i get pregnant again..

Accepted Answer

It is possible: If you still have the other ovary fully intact then you will likely be able to get pregnant again.

Question 9

hi. i'd like to ask something. my right ovary was removed 4 yrs ago due to ovarian cyst and now i feel pain everitime i have my period.pls help?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Menstrual pelvic pain is common &amp; unlikely to be serious. A few questions though: your age; taking hormones; pain on same side as the removed ovary; unusual bleeding; had another pelvic ultrasound in past 6 months? Your answers can help in forming a treatment plan. Meanwhile, an NSAID like naproxen if safe for you, can give pain relief.

Question 10

sharp pain in my left or right ovary about once a week, period has completely stopped for 2 months now, can an ovarian cyst(s) cause a + preg. test?

Accepted Answer

It's a baby: A positive pregnancy test is a baby until proven otherwise. If unsure, one can repeat a home urine pregnancy test 7-10 days later... they are very accurate. If the second test is positive, there's a baby embryo or fetus in there. That means it's time to call one's doctor to schedule a prenatal visit. The usual ovarian cysts don't cause false positive pregnancy tests.
