Having An Ovary Removed At 21
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've just turned 21 and in the last 2 years have had two laparoscopies, both of which found and excised extensive endometriosis and inserted Mirenas. The pain has always been worse on my right side and after more intense pain than usual, my last ultrasound showed 38 follicles on my ovaries and my right currently twice the size of my left.

Im also getting cysts back to back and noone will listen to me. Ive been so miserable, and doctors keep saying im "too young." Im 26 and only want one ovary removed. I just feel like it should be our choice. Definitely understand the frustration, wishing you all luck.

Hey how are you im still kind of new to the group i actually just had my left ovary removed friday 05/15. I had a 10cm cyst that was twisting into my bladder and ovary it was causing me not to unrinate . Literally for 13 days i didnt pee due to the endo cyst. Now im on day 6 recovery and huntyyyy it is not pretty. Ive been in constant pain since then i know i just had surgery but this ish hurts. I was scared at first because i thought i wouldnt be able to have another baby but thats not true.
