Re: OT - Fallopian Tube Cyst?

[Guest guest]

I've never heard of a fallopian tube cyst, and usually something like that would

be painful- ectopic pregnancies are when they get a certain size.You can get

corpus luteal cysts-which are ovarian but close to the fallopian tubes- during

your cycle which is normal. I don't know how old you are- (pre or post

menopause) but it could be an ectopic pregnancy- which grows in the fallopian

tubes instead of the uterus.

The best thing to do is see your gyno for a check up. A lot of these cysts just

go away after a few cycles, an ectopic pregnancy is more serious.

should see either my PCP or GYNO about it. Is this a bad thing? I don't seem to

have any pain, so hopefully it's nothing I have to worry about. My googling

mostly turned up stuff about ovarian cysts, but not fallopian tube cysts. Anyone

know if these things are dangerous, or is it something that most women have at

some point or another?
