what is a peritoneal occlusion I have had 3 major surgeries
and lost my second child due
to premature labour. I now
have reaccumulation of fluid
which is a peritoneal
occlusion cyst. I am very
worried the fluid contains the
left ovary which is held by
strands of tissue to the
external capsuel of the cyst.
the ovary itself is otherwise
normal.

A peritoneal inclusion cyst is a complex mass that consists of an ovary trapped in multiple fluid-filled adhesions (scar tissues). They're benign. On sonography one looks like a spider (the ovary) in a spider web. Because they're non-malignant, a conservative reatment approach is usually taken. However, PICs can cause infertility and surgery is often used, especially is they're causing pain and abdominal distention. Surgical options include open resection, laparscopic drainage and percutaneous darinage. But there's a 30%-50% recurrence of the cyst. A combination of drainage and oral contraceptives may be the most effective treatment. A common initial approach is the use of pain medications along with oral contraceptives. Cyst aspiration (drainage) and laparascopic adhesiotomy (removal of scar tissue) can performed later. Will having a peritoneal inclusion cyst stop you from having IVF? You may not be a candidate for in vitro with this condition. I strongly advise you to speak to your reproductive specialist, OB/Gyn or whoever it is who is managing your condition. Yours is a valid question but not one for Yahoo! Answers. They will know far better than I. |
