Dermoid cyst on ovary anyone?
When I was pg I was diagnosed with a dermoid cyst on my left ovary at my 12 week scan. It caused me no problems whatsoever through the pg. Had a scan today and it is still there - hasn't grown at all and is still 5cm.
Just wondering what happens next? I'm assuming the consultant will want to remove it. What kind of op is it? Is it done under GA? Will I lose that ovary? Other thing is, I had a c-section - not sure if that affects anything?
Thanks all!

PS I realise the consultant will tell me all of this - I'm just being impatient and seeing what I can find out from you lovely ladies!

when do you go and see the consulatant?
The op was the same as a c sec for me, but under GA, with the same sort of recovery time.
They didnt find mine till they did a laproscopy, i was hospitalised in total agony for 3 days before they found them. (didnt show up on scans or x rays) Mine was a worse case scenario though as there were no signs of them and they were causing pain. If you're not getting any pain from yours i'd guess they will try to remove them through a laproscopy first under GA and only reopen you if they really need to.
