Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have gone through your query and also the attached reports.
Here are your answers:
1. From the reports, I observe that the cyst is a complex one, above 5 cm. in size and there is a rise in AFP, which is seen with embryonic tumors, which can be a dermoid cyst in this situation. Therefore, I suggest removal of the cyst and get it biopsied to plan further management. This is not malignancy, it is a benign tumor, but needs to be removed.
2. You better go for the laparoscopy now since the cyst is showing a tendency to increase in size as later on removal through laparoscopy may become cumbersome.
3. Most often, recovery is quicker with laparoscopy. Though, I would suggest avoiding lifting weights for a few weeks. She can resume normal work in a week or two depending on her recovery. Meanwhile, you may have to make sure the child is attended by a person as close as his mother.
4. The surgery can be performed by a gynecologist who does laparoscopy or a general surgeon who specializes in laparoscopic surgeries. You can choose the best in your area.
5. With a clean surgery and no postoperative issues, future conception is not a problem.
6. The chances of recurrence are 4 percent with laparoscopy and 0 percent with laparotomy as per reports.
Hope I have clarified your queries. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

Shanti.V.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing back. Very sorry for not being able to give a prompt reply.
After going through your queries, I would like to offer some information.
Here are your answers:
1. Dermoid cyst is not due to improper surgical procedure. It is an embryonic one, that is, it is present through the fetal stage and in the ovary, it is most commonly observed during the reproductive age. There are a few cells which remain in the embryonic state and capable of growing into several structures like teeth, hair, nails etc., which are the usual contents of a dermoid cyst. These cysts can occur anywhere in the body.
2. You can safely take your time before proceeding for further management. These cysts are a chance finding during sonography and often not associated with any symptoms. In fact, though surgery was the only treatment of choice in earlier days, of late, expectant management is also being tried. This means surgery is performed in conditions where the cyst is likely to cause complications either due to its size etc., when the patient opts for it to avoid repeated visits, in women with many children irrespective of age and in the older patients. In the rest, there is a regular follow up to monitor the cyst, its growth and any possible complications like torsion, infection, rupture etc., which call for surgery.
This is not a cyst that influences the hormone state and hence, there are no associated menstrual disturbances.
3. There is no need of any medication now specifically for the treatment.
4. Commonly, a cyst of size less than or equal to 5 cm. is preferably removed through laparoscopy. However, cysts of 15 cm. size also have been successfully removed through laparoscopy. This is possible when the nature of the tumor is not suspected to be malignant and the surgical expertise available is good. The risks of cyst rupture and spillage during laparoscopy make laparotomy preferred by some, especially when the nature of the cyst in unknown, which is not your case.
5. I cannot recommend a doctor as such, since I do not have much information and also because of the protocols usually followed, you may have to visit a gynecologist initially for coordinated management and later follow up.
Hope I have provided the required information. Please do contact for any other clarifications. I will be ready to help.

Brief Answer:
Menstruation does not influence the surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.
Menstruation does not influence the surgery. Also, if she receives her period as scheduled, by the time of the surgery, the menstrual flow should reduce and as such, should not give her much discomfort.
The procedure can be performed as scheduled. There is no need to postpone the menstrual cycle.
Hope I have clarified your query. Please get back if you need anything else.
