How dangerous is a cyst on your ovary or fibroids in your uterus?
I had a very large cyst that strangulated my ovary and when they went in to remove the cyst, they had to take the ovary too--it couldn't be saved.





However, my gyno told me that it didn't really impact my fertility or ability to have kids later. We're born with way more eggs than we'll ever need so losing one ovary doesn't mean I can't have kids.





He explained that what happened to me was essentially bad luck--nothing could have been done to prevent it and just because its happened once doesn't mean it'll happen again.





Most women have ovarian cysts and never even know it--they just go away by themselves without ever becoming painful or dangerous.





I hope that helps.
Reply:Sometimes cysts on the ovaries will go away on their own., then there are times when they need to be removed, but not all cysts can be surgically removed. There are times when the ovary must be removed because there can be several cysts on the ovary or they me like a cluster, and become strangulated. Fibroids are 99% non-cancerous and can cause painful cramping and flood-like periods. Depending on the woman's age, and size of the fibroids, a hysterectomy can be performed particularly if the woman does not desire children any longer. Fibroids most definitely can interfere with pregnancy.
Reply:I'd suggest you talk to your gynecologist for your specific situation, but yes....in the extreme, both of those conditions can cause infertility or the inability to carry a child. PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) can damage your eggs and tubes and severe fibroids can grow and take up valuable room in the uterus, as well as cause severe monthly cramping that may effect the ability to carry a child to term.





However, both of these issues are treatable if taken care of early.
Reply:I have no idea if it prevents you from having kids. But I will tell you that I know of a co-worker that has had a few cysts in her ovaries (not all at once of course).She has gotten treatments and has had them removed. Her mother and sister have the same issue, I assume it's hereditary. but that's all I know as far as cysts.
