Hi! Paraovarian cysts are not actually ovarian, they are usually located along side the ovaries or on the fallopian tubes but they are often hard to distinguish from the ovarian cysts. If they are small and don’t cause any trouble, they are hard to notice, the only way to do so is with the transvaginal examination. They are often mistaken for ovarion cysts.
These cysts are not so common but do appear. They make 10% of all the masses in the adnexal region (ovaries and tubes). These cysts represent remnants of of the Wolfiaan duct that lies parallelly the upper third of the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes.
The cysts can grow to be very big and even extend to the upper abdomen. Their size and symptoms do not correspond to the hormonal cycle like other ovarian cysts do.
Paraovarian cysts may be troublesome because they can tear, bleed, rupture and become infected.

I have been diagnosed with what is suspected to be a paraovarian cyst, 5.3 cm and also have a large fibroid on ultrasound. I am being scheduled to have an MRI because the placement of the fibroid somewho blocked the cul de sac of where the cyst is located.
Of course I am worried because I have two "lumps" in my body. I have discomfort in my pelvis (not severe) and in my legs (near the top) and occationally in my back. Is this anything to worry about?
What I have read suggests that because I am post menopausal, these cysts and fibroid are more suspicisiou> Is this true. Can a doctor see the difference between a fibroid and a malignant tumour on an ultrasound?
I can't help thinking of all the worse possible things, which can't be good for me. And I have to wait until Sept. until I can get anything more done.
Can you give me any reassurance?i

Hello all...I am recovering from the surgery I had last week for this type of cyst. It began during pregnancy, and stayed relatively small. However, I waited and waited because I didn't think it would cause a problem. I received 36 staples with a large midline incision to remove my ten INCH cyst and lost a fallopian tube/ovary. The cyst was twisting and leaking and caused severe pain. Just wanted to throw in my two cents. My doctor he never saw one get that big so I definitely do not want to scare anyone! Just wanted to share my experience.
Hi. I read that you had a paraovarian cyst surgery in 1999 . I had the same 10 years ago, but yesterday my doctor discovered a new cyst just in the same place. I´m trying to find some information about this kind of situation but nobody mentions something similar. What about you? have you had any problems after the surgery? Sorry to bother you but I´m kind of worried. thanks!
hi.. had the same situation with you.. it's been one week since i had my surgery.. im 30 and i first discovered my right paraovarian cyst 5 yrs ago and it was like 5cm yet and my OB told me not to worry much and to have regular annual check ups and to report whenever pain occurs. At times, i had tolerable back pains on my right and thought that maybe it was just a regular back pains from work. However, two weeks ago, i had this localized stabbing back pain and so with the right part of my abdomen. It was actually getting worst that the pain runs to my entire abdominal part. After the surgery, it turned out that the cyst twisted 3 times and they also had my fallopian tube removed since it was deprived from blood supply and was like blackish in color already unlike its normal skin-toned color..
hi .. I'm frellen 18 years of age ..
when i was 17y.o we find out that i have a para ovarian cyst according to my ob gyne there is nothing to worry about but i'm scared for some articles that i read ..
can you please help me to understand about this para ovarian?
thanks..
Hi to all... I just had my surgery (laparoscopy) last month.. My obgyne just found out its a paraovarian cyst... All along we thought its an ovarian cyst. It just took me 2weeks to heal the wounds..not bad right.. I had 3 incision.. 1 on the left and right of my abdomen and in my navel... Anyway.. All i can say. Just dont worry too much. If its bothering you... Ask your obgyne to remove it.. Thats wat i did... =))
Hi .. I felt miracle after my surgery. All reports diagnosed as endo cyst but finally I have landed in para ovarian cyst
It's been two weeks . I feel very comfortable .
Does I still need to take precaution to take rest?
Can I resume my aerobics n jogging activities after my lap?
Is it too early for exercise for lap ?
Helene, I just red yr post and find it informative. A young teenage girl I know has just been diagnosed with a para ovarian cyst and has been told that she can cure it with some tablets, no need for surgery. How true is this?
Tablets? What kind of " tablets" would help a paraovarian cyst? That is not true. Here is what is true. No body knows if the cyst will get bigger or smaller or just dissolve. It needs to b monitored by ultra sound every six months or at least once a year. Its dangerous if it gets too big..my dr said over 5 cen. Has to come out. I had mine out ...was in and out of hospital with in four hours was done laparoscopically...three small cuts... Was up and doing my normal thing next day..only thing i took care not to do was left anything over twenty pounds for two weeks...some chick said it took her two weeks?? Not sure y...no reason for that....i even had my gall bladder out at the same time as the cyst was feeling 85 percent good by the next day....by three days 95 percent good. ..no tablet is going to fix this... Either it doesnt get bigger and u just live with it..or it gets bigger and u get it out...good luck
I found out I have a para ovarian cyst two years ago. recently I've been having pelvic pain with back pain. My doctor thinks its too small to cause pain. I think I should get it removed
