[QUOTE=sftbll44;75408][QUOTE=sftbll44;75407]I had my right Ovary and both falopian tubes out recently and I wanted to respond to think22. The reason that people get so many different answers is because the doctors don't really have straight ones for you. My doctor said to me many times before the surgery that the studies that they have thus far show that I should be fine. That I will not walk out of the hospital in Menopause. I could experience menopausal systoms but it did not mean that I was going through menopause. Just like any other surgery that an organ is removed in, your body must adjust and everyones body adjusts and reacts differently. There is a higher chance that you can go into menapause at an earlier age because it only makes sense that there is a higher chance. And as for the dermoid, there are not only small % that it can be cancerous but it can cause many other problems if not takin care of. Doctors can only tell you the fact of issues that have been studied and proven. It is proven that if you remove both of your ovaries that you will go through menopause but there is no study that says you will definitly not go through menopause sooner or later with a unilateral oopherectomy. They don't know. It's ups to your body.I was told that the increase in chances of having other issues with my health later in life and I will keep an eye out for that in the future. And I have symptoms of menopause or what are considered symptoms. I am only 32, my tubes were also removed but I am done having children so thats fine with me. Others are not in the same situation. And there is no actual study that says your one ovary make up for the one that was lost as far as my research has taken me and taking with the doctors. It only may make enough to keep you from going into menopause in the very soon future and keeps your menstral cycle afloat, but there is nothing that says that in every women that undergoes this surgery they will still produce just as much hormones as before. It just wouldn't make sense to say every woman does or even most. Both our ovaries are very important to our hormonal production and I believe that the loss of one can be an adjustment for some maybe not all. I have done quite a bit of research on this subject. And thought I could give my insight on what I have learned and I would love to hear what others have learned about this subject. I will follow up with my doctor to make sure I am healthy and listen to my body when its telling me something. Only we know really if something is going on in us! JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE LISTENING TO YOUR BODY!! And if it tells you somethings not right then go see your doctor and make the adjustments necessary to fix it! Good Luck!

I was wondering if anyone here can help me? 2 years ago i had a left ovary removed due to a complex mass. Before the surgery my life side hurt a lot and i was always bleeding. now for a couple months ive had the same symptoms again, not as severe though,on my right side, including the bleeding. ive been going to the doctor since june and had countless ultrasounds. there is a mass on my right ovary and polpys in my uterus. i have an appointment in 3 weeks to discuss a care plan with my doctor. i also had a blood test with a high count of ca-125. im scared im going to lose my other ovary. im only 25, and single. what are the chances that im going to have surgery again, and lose my other ovary? is this something i should be worried about, im really confused? help! any explanation of anything will be helpful
