Hey ladies. I'm sneaking in from 1st tri to see if anyone further along has experience of dermoid cysts?
I have dermoid cysts on both ovaries. At my first scan last week one measured 6cm by 5.5cm and the other 7.5cm by 6cm. I was told that they would check the size again at my 20 week scan and then refer me to a consultant after that to see what to do next as apparently these can cause problems in pregnancy and labour depending on their size. I had a look online and there are a lot of women who have had surgery in pregnancy, or a csection due to these types of cysts but most of the information and sites i found are American.
Just wondering if anyone here in the uk has experience of these cysts cos as we know the nhs had its own way of doing things. After my 20 week scan I'll actually get to discuss things with the consultant, but in the meantime I'm just looking for similar experiences to see what i could expect him to say. xx
