When one ovary is removed, does the other over-compensate for it?

I just found out that I have a large cyst on my right ovary, so large that my entire ovary may have to be removed. Will my left ovary over-compensate since my right one will be missing?

When one ovary is removed, does the other over-compensate for it?
Not, over-compensate, but it will continue to do its job if it's functioning properly.





What kind of treatment has been suggested BEFORE surgery becomes your only option?





I had a cyst measuring 10cm on an ovary measuring 6cm, and went on Lupron to induce temporary menopause. Not fun, but avoiding the surgery was better in the long run.





Look for alternatives!
Reply:No not really as each ovary only has so many eggs in it so it will not be any different than before surgery.
Reply:Sweetheart you do not have to lose your ovary at all. I had the same problem and i went to a herbalist and he gave me herbs to melt it away. He can also give you herbs that can melt fibroids. Find a good Herbalist where you live and visit him or her. Drugs and surgery are so unecessary sometimes. Check out your alternative options first. You do not need to lose your ovary!!!

Reply:No. It will continue to release one egg every other month. If at some point you try to get pregnant you can take special hormones that causing the eggs to be released more often.
Reply:Perhaps! two organs are made to perform this function Like wise one eye, one kidney, one leg......
Reply:no ,as each one works every other month=to be sure what will happen ,ask the surgeon =good luck
Reply:No, your left ovary will not adjust for the loss of your right ovary. Since your ovaries generally rotate turnes during ovulation (month 1- left, month 2-right, month 3-left), if you lose one, you will only ovulate every other month, even though your period will still come every month. Even though one part of your system may be removed, the other parts don't know it and therefore don't do anything about it. Make sense?
