Hi Doctor! I gave birth via cesarean section and after that my OB removed my Left ovary and Fallopian tube and according to biopsy test the diagnosis was a Mature cystic teratoma and a congestion on my Fallopian tube.Is it worst having that kind of diagnosis? Am i still capable of having a child in the future? I m seeking your advice. Thank you very much
Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. Your treating doctor has removed the entire ovary, now you need not worry about the disease remaining behinds the diagnosis suggest that it is not a malignant tumor you need not worry about it. Secondly, you still have your other tube and ovary. That is more than enough to retain your fertility and womanhood. I will suggest you to get postmenstrual HSG done-Hysterosalpingography, to know about the patency of fallopian tube. One USG study will be of help to know about the condition of the ovary and uterus. If you have history of regular cycles then day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle, Try to have unprotected sex activity in this period at least on alternate days. If you are planning to get pregnant please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements regularly. This helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy and delivery. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
