Seriously?

I have two ovarian cysts. The one on my left side is the size of a basketball apparently. So far, benign.

But how do you know if it becomes cancerous?

did you have a biopsy or are they relying on imaging?

btw, if you have a cyst the size of a basketball it could lead to all kinds of problems. its putting pressure on other organs.

You have an organ called an omentum. It can stick to your ovaries and other organs. The fatter you are the more problem you can have with it.

A biopsy would be the surest way to tell. Better to be safe than sorry.

I had big cysts on both ovaries. Had them both taken out with DaVinci surgery. I was glad not to worry about it anymore. The surgery was not horrible.
