Ovarian dermoid cyst - has anyone else had this?

Hi I'm 32 and recently went to the doctors for extremely painful periods and bloating I thought I had endometriosis or pcos. I had an internal scan and was sent away nothing was said 2days later my doctor called to say I had a cyst I thought ok no problem I then had an appointment to go over some other results and my doctor said it's dermoid cyst I had never heard of this but she rushed though and appointment at the hospital for me which I have on Thursday but I Am terrified has anyone else had this and was it benign.

 

thank you all

  • I'm not sure what time your appointment is today Stephanie, but I just wanted to pop by to wish you good luck and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had ovarian dermoid cysts will share their advice and experiences with you soon but you're more than welcome to join in on any discussions you find about this when using the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above.

    Kind regards,
