Anxious about laparoscopy (m)
| Fri, 10-31-2003 - 5:50pm |
Hi. I am a frequent poster on other boards. I went for my annual exam in August, and my doctor thought he felt an enlarged uterus. I had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed a mass on my ovary. I have to have a laparoscopy done this Monday. Any words of advice/encouragement? I am a total wreck!! Thanks!

Welcome!
(((Big Hugs))) to you!
As far as the mass goes, I'm assuming it wasn't a cyst because they usually watch those for a few weeks to see if they resolve themselves. When I was seventeen my ovary was the size of a grapefruit and they did a laparoscopy and it was just twisted and swollen. There are probably a number of benign conditions that this could be. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Make sure you let us know how you make out.

I'm so glad to hear you're okay!
