I have recently been diagnosed with a 17cm ovarian cyst... I am still at the stage of waiting to see a gyno.. I had an ultra sound last week and they have told me not to worry about it although that is easier said than done... I dont have any children and I am not pregnant... I am 28 years old.. I am worried about the future as I have never experienced anything like this before... just looking for some advice on the surgery as I expect to be taken quite soon going by the size of it... my stomach looks as though I am 5 months pregnant!

Hi Gillian,
I am 25 yrs old. I have had 2 laparoscopies & 1 laparotomy done due to ovarian cysts. I really think you need to see a dr. that way you can get rid of the cyst. I haven't had a cyst as big as yours, though.
I found some websites for you. you can try these links for some info to help you out:

3 years ago I had an 8 1/2 cm ovarian cyst and do they did an ultrasound to see if it had grown and they discovered i was 3 months pregnant so they couldn't do anything and they just let it rupture, and now 3 years later we haven't been able to get pregnant again. So, I suggest you go in and have it removed to better your chances of having children in the future. However, make sure you ask your Dr. about all your options. Hope this helps.
Be careful during laparoscopies tho... I had one and the dr. stabbed my transverse colon and I laid in bed for 6 days with peritonitis because the dr. didn't listen to me when I called her the next day wih a low grade fever -- and her office 2 days later because I was vomiting black stuff even tho I couldn't eat or drink.
She finally directed me to the ER and I was in surgery getting cut from my sternum all the way down within an hour.
