I have a large ovarian cyst which i am having removed along with my left ovary.I do not want to go through this again.I have already had children and don’t plan having any more.Doc say if both are removed it will put me into early menopause.I just don’t want to have any more cyst.

Personally, I wouldn’t have them both removed. I lost one ovary to a big cyst and didn’t notice any changes really in hormone levels or anything else (they say the 1 compensates for the lost 1). Hormone replacement therapy is so tricky…some of the research says it increases your risk for cancer. I’d do a lot of research to see if the risks of treating early menopause are worth the trade off of not having to deal with cysts anymore.
