Q: Oophorectomy during pregnancy?
I am 10 weeks pregnant today with my second child (2 previous mc and 1 chemical). At my 6 week scan they found a small cyst on my ovary. Two weeks later it was over 7cm and it is a tumor, not a cyst. My ob consulted a high-risk doctor and decided the mass has to come out immediately, and I am scheduled for surgery in two days. This has all happened very quickly and I haven't been given much information. I was wondering if anyone here had their ovaries removed (or similar surgery) during pregnancy? Was the mass cancerous? What kind of recovery time did you have? I have no idea how long I will be off work. What is the risk to the baby during surgery? Were you on bed rest or extra monitoring for the rest of your pregnancy? Any advice or information is greatly appreciated.This question was asked Dec. 25, 2012 8:07pm
