What would change? Anything with reproduction, conception, etc.?
Would any changes occur if a person were to remove one testicle or one ovary?
The possibility of conception will decrease but no where near the 50% level. Hormone levels may decrease by a small amount but not enough to cause problems in most cases.
Are you having 1 of each removed :-}
Reply:mmm...bout the testicle...it should be fine but the sperm count might be low...quite crucial for those who are trying to get his wife pregnant...but the one that left can compensate alright...after all it only takes one sperm cell to do the tricks...
for the ovary...not much change...the other will compensate real good...
Reply:yeah your skin becomes green and you walk with a limp and start to look like a demented hag!
Reply:No change. A woman can still get pregnant with one ovary and a man can still produce sperm with one testicle.

My GYN told me that I have a cyst on my right ovary. What is this and shouldl I be worried about cancer?
I am 25, and just had a baby 7 months ago. I have a cyst. I don't know anything about it but I have one. My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and ended up having chemo and a historectomy. Should I be worried? My MD perscribed some hormones and hopes it will shrink it!
My GYN told me that I have a cyst on my right ovary. What is this and shouldl I be worried about cancer?
About 95% of ovarian cysts are benign; those that persist beyond two or three menstrual cycles, or occur in post-menopausal women may indicate more serious disease and should be investigated through ultrasonography and laproscopy, especially in cases where other family members have had ovarian cancer. Such cysts may require surgical biopsy. Additionally, a blood test may be taken before surgery to check for elevated CA-125, a tumor marker, which is often found in increased levels in ovarian cancer, although it can also be elevated by other conditions resulting in a large number of false positives.
Reply:Not to worry. I had one when I was your age and it was very painful, every other period or so. One gynecologist told me it was the size of a golf ball.
No surgery, just modified my diet. No salt, no junk food, at all! I also followed an exercise routine. The problem went away. That was a long time ago. Keep up good health and don't slack off. Especially if your mother had the disease, doesn't mean you are going to get it, it means you should take better care of yourself.
Reply:Sometimes a cyst on your ovary is just your body being stuck in a cycle. I had one about 2 years after I had my 2nd child. I was put on hormones and it went away in a month or so.
Just keep in close contact with your doctor. If you feel any sharp (or dull) pain, unexplained bleeding, etc, call your doc right away. Sometimes cysts can rupture - but unless your doctor said anything, you 'll probably be ok.
Reply:they are not cancerous, but if it ruptures it can be extremely painful. Just make sure to take the med prescribed by your doctor, if it doesn't shrink it, it will have to be removed. Dint worry though, I have had a couple of friends that had them on their ovaries. One had it removed, the other actually had it rupture and had to go to the hospital, but she ended up being OK, it just hurts alot.
Reply:Aww you poor girl you must be really worried. BUT DON'T BE! I read that 90% of women have at least one ovarian cyst in their lifetime. Most women don't even know that they have them until they become very large or get twisted. Don't worry I'm sure your OBGYN must have faith its no big deal if they ordered hormones instead of testing!

It is possible that it could be adheision pain.

How easy is it to conceive with polycystic ovary syndrome?
Hello I know of 2 people who had babies 1 while taking metformin the other nothing. My friend is also pregnant now. I also have pcos and have 2 kids , But i didnt know i had it then found out a few yrs later when me and my new partner tried for a baby. clomid didint work for any of us though and we cant afford Ivf. My next plan was 2 try and lose weight 2 c if this makes a diff I've lost 2st up to now through healthy eating and exercise.I've had no luck as yet but its fun trying I didnt find my dr that helpful they really dont seem 2 know much about it though and I kept getting told you had 2 allready so 2 me they didnt seem that bothered so I decided 2 try and help myself just try and relax and good luck and baby dust 2 you and its not impossible just harder 4 us thats all
How easy is it to conceive with polycystic ovary syndrome?
It varies from person to person.
I have PCOS (no cysts, just the insulin factor) and was able to concieve our son without trying or with any meds.
It took us almost 3yrs to concieve our daughter. Once I was finally diagnosed with it and put on Metformin I concieved the same month as diagnosis.
I did Clomid prior to being diagnosed for 5 cycles and it did nothing for me. 1 month on Metformin and I was pregnant and now have a 6 week old baby girl.
Clomid is not for everyone, neither is Metformin...its best to talk to your dr and find out what form of PCOS you have and what treatment is best for you. Some PCOS patients have to be on both Met and Clomid to concieve.
Reply:It truly depends on whether or not you have cysts at this time. PCOS can be minimized if you follow a healthy diet and lose some weight. SOmetimes the symptoms (not ovulating, etc) can be reversed if you get in shape and eat healthy.
Also, your Dr. can give you medicine (like clomid) to help you ovulate so you can conceive.
Good luck!
Reply:It can be more difficult but not impossible. I personally do not have it but I went through fertility treatments and there were women who were being treated for this with metiformin. I would discuss your options with you doctor.
Reply:depends on the severity of your condition, i was diagnosed with pcos and had two children with no medical help, my periods did come although very irregular, i know this sounds awful but you may need to lose weight but that is easier said than done with pcos, just try and watch what you eat, if you still have periods i would keep going, if after a year of trying to conceive go and see your doctor, good luck, hope it works out xxx

Why can a ultrasound not find my left ovary?
I've had extreme pain and very irregular periods and have had an ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound , it found that my rt. ovary has cysts and the drs. can't find my left ovary. The ER dr seems to think I may have endometriosis and possibly an ovarian torsion(twisted ovary). Has anyone else had this kind of problems and how was this fixed?
Why can a ultrasound not find my left ovary?
i had this exact problem...my bowel twisted into my ovary and i had to have laparoscopy.. it was a minimally invasive surgery, yet became much more complicated that the doctors had anticipated...the pain is excruciating and it is worth it to get it checked out...it turned out my left ovary and fallopian tube had been entirely damaged. please get it check out further...don't go through what i did =/
good luck!
Reply:Sometimes it can fix itself and sometimes it needs a minimally invasive surgery to put it back in it's place. If the transvagaginal one didn't find it - then that's bizarre.
Reply:Perhaps you were born with one ovary.

I have had laprascopic surgery to get a tumor removed from my ovary im still having pains is this normal?
i its been 2 weeks since surgery she also removed my fallopian tube on the right side i have a appointment today with doctor just wanted to know it anyone else has experienced this
I have had laprascopic surgery to get a tumor removed from my ovary im still having pains is this normal?
Wow...this is exactly the same story as mine except I didn't get laprascopic surgery (they had to do an incision so they wouldn't disrupt the tumor). They removed my left ovary along with my left fallopian tube.
I have small pains that seem to be coming from the inside rather than near the skin (or on the incision). I asked my mother about it and she told me some small pains along with some tingling feelings could be where the body is healing on the inside. She had a hysterectomy so she knew how the surgery would feel afterwards.
But other than that there's no pain. I was told to look for bruises appearing which could mean the area is becoming infected. None of that, thankfully.
But other than that there's not really much pain. I wouldn't understand why you would be feeling such pains since you got laprascopic surgery, though.
Good luck with the doctor! I hope it's nothing serious! And I wish you the best of health! =]

I have a pain in my right ovary?
I have the same problem but I have had this problem for years now and not sure what it is. Chances are it's a cyst but haven't been able to see a doctor yet but really you need to get it checked out. Don't wait until it's too late...!
Reply:Anytime...if you want IM me on Yahoo, sky_candy9341 or e-mail me at that @ yahoo.com..Knowing your not a lone is comforting sometimes.. Report It
Reply:Also the one thing that you need to know is that when you termanation a pregnancy you still have to heal. This means you may want to not do any heavy lifting or over dueing exercise. This will help remove some of the strain. Report It
Reply:well it could be due to infection in ur genital tract
c ur doc

Reply:if it continues go see your doctor. pain can occur through exercise, infection ovulation, cysts go get it checked to put your mind at ease.
