A member asked:

Is it possible for a right ovary to get infected with the cyst if your left ovary has 15cm cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unrelated : A person who has a 15 cm left ovarian cyst could acquire an infection such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and pid which infected the right ovary and tube. This would be an independent process from the left ovarian cyst.
