Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain Due To Ovarian Cyst
Biopsy required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
You stand risk of ovarian cancer. Hence better to go ahead with removal of ovary. Your present symptoms are not conclusively indicative of cancer. Please get biopsy of ovarian cysts first for diagnosis.
It is important to know biopsy report before surgery as if malignancy is proved on biopsy the extent of surgery is different and removal of lymph nodes might be needed. So biopsy is extremely important.
It is difficult to say whether it is a ovarian or colon cancer as it is important first to diagnose whether it is a cancer or not. As CT scan has picked up a mass in ovary and no findings on colon, if proved to be cancer on biopsy then could be a ovarian one.
Due to previous surgeries it is technically difficult to operate as there will be adhesions in abdomen. Injury to abdomen and kidney can avoided if surgery is done by experts gynecologist and surgeon. Better to see a gynecologist oncologist once.
