Has anyone ever experienced this? Or know
of someone who has? Do you know what
might cause an ovary to become enlarged?
It's become quite painful. Any ideas?
I've been to the dr, she said wait and see
if pain gets better over the next couple
of days.

as I said before an enlarged ovary can
have many causes.
Without any other details it is not
possible to surmise.
What did your doctor think might be the
reason?
S/he is probably going to have more
information on this as they know your
medical history.
Have you any history of pelvic
conditions?
For us to give you an answer you need to
give some background.

Anyone Else? Posted: 04-16-06 16:37pm
Kia,
you have answered this before and called
me a liar. You are not welcome to post
in this thread. I sent your "liar reply"
to the ceo of ehealth. Calling someone a
liar who is seeking help is unhelpful.
"see deleted post - sydneygirl".
************
hi ladies,
i would like to hear from anyone who has
actually had an enlarged ovary or knows of
someone who did. I am looking for
causes.
Anyone else is welcome to answer this
question if they have actual knowledge of
causes of an enlarged ovary or a helpful
suggestion. Thanks.

Maybe you should re-read the post.
You made a post, I replied, then you
deleted said post so...
I ask why you deleted your post and asked
if you had lied or something in it to
cause you to delete, what had been a
perfectly reasonable post. Had until that
point been the only post you had made that
wasn't related to digging up past
drama's!
I did not call you a liar - I merely made
an enquiry.
As for seeking help - I think you will
find that I have gone out of my way to
help you find a possible solution -
frankly from the limited amount of
information you provided at first it was
not possible to surmise an answer.
Unfortunatley, I failed psychic ed at
school and have to make do the old
fashioned way by asking questions to
eliminate other causes.
I'm sorry if my answer is not what you
want to hear.
However, I am a long time member of this
community and I shall choose where to
post.
Also no-one is going to be able to give
you an answer unless you provide a bit
more info.
See questions in above post for an idea of
where to begin.

Kia, you are not welcome in this post.
Please go away. People do not need any
other information, they have either
suffered from this or not.
I wish to hear what caused their enlarged
ovary. I am not here so you can diagnose
me. Let other people answer ... Women
who have actually had an enlarged ovary
... You obviously haven't. Please move
on to another post and leave this one
alone.

Hey sydney girl
an enlarged ovary? What are your symptoms
hun? I have actually had an ovary
removed, so maybe I can help?
I had no pain whatsoever, the only way I
knew that something was wrong was that I
was bleeding menstrually for 20 days
straight. I went to my gp and he told me
he thought I had an ovarian cyst. He
booked me into a gynocholigist and they
did an ultrasound and sure enough, I had a
massive cyst.
It had 600ml of fluid in it! They did
keyhole surgery on it to remove the fluid
but unfortunately I lost an ovary.
Thankfully it was benign, but I have to
stay on the pill now until I want to start
a family (im only 21) or else theres a
chance I will lose my other ovary.
Perhaps you have a cyst?

My Ultrasound Results ... Posted: 04-23-06 17:26pm
Hi krittyk, thanks for your reply, you're
so young to have lost an ovary, only 21!
I hope everything stays well for you.
I have had an ultrasound, unfortunately
there is no cyst or fluid in the ovary
it's just very large (and painful).
I had a hysterectomy feb 9 and have had
pain at the site where they removed the
cervix. Apparently this pain is quite
normal and I am just a slow healer. I
don't have a fever so there's no post-op
infection, and i've been tested for a uti
and swabed for any other type of infection
which was all negative.
So you can see it's a bit of a mystery.
Any other thoughts are most welcome and
thanks again for sharing your story.
Take care.
Sydneygirl
(nice to talk to another ozzie girl)

things... Maybe its endometriosis? Maybe
check out this link and see if any
symptoms match up with your own.
and yes, I lost my ovary when I was 18, so
very young indeed!!

I Have Endometriosis And Adenomyosis Posted: 04-24-06 19:43pm
Hi krit,
thanks, I had a read of the website, it's
got good explainations.
I have endometriosis and I had adenomyosis
- this condition is like endometriosis,
but not exactly the same. Cells that
normally line your uterus invade the
muscle tissue of the uterus wall. That's
why I had a hysterectomy, so the adeno
would not progress any further. I'll ask
the surgeon if the endo could make the
ovary enlarged, my gp hasn't suggested
this.
I'd say all the microscopic endo has been
disturbed by the surgery hence all the
pain, however I wasn't sure about the
ovary and if there was anything I could do
about it. Thanks again for the link, it
was helpful.
