@doctorsood: Some ovarian “cysts” turn out to be teratomas: tumors that can contain fat, hair, or even teeth. Most are benign, but larger ones can cause serious complications like ovarian torsion, which may affect fertility. Did you know not all cysts are just cysts? vc: @savcaroline.spam #medical #health #healthtips #teratoma #womenshealth
I had a teratoma removed at 22that was almost 5 lbs and destroyed right ovary. I have a right oophorectomy and part of fallopian removed. It damaged my other ovary too.

mine was a 14cm demoid cyst with hair and teeth. I went to my doctor several times thinking I had a kidney infection and they dismissed me. imagining from a car accident is how I found out about it. had to have my ovary and fallopian tube removed

Not to mention that ovarian torsion tends to be incredibly unpleasant.

I had a dermoid cyst of 5cm removed when I was 18 and then the surgeon didn’t get all the remnants so it grew back and it ruined my ovary because of the scar tissue that was there my ovary had to be removed

Mine was the size of a grapefruit! My surgeon said it was the biggest he had removed. It did destroy my ovary, and I was in so much pain.

Can you please talk about endometriomas if you haven’t already? I was recently diagnosed with them and wasn’t provided a lot of information beyond being told I would need surgery.

I was 12 when I had it. Doctors thought I was being dramatic until they saw my body was starting to poison itself with it.
