gynaecology problem



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by Annhall 20 yrs ago
I attended a gyn check yesterday. My doctor told me that I have an ovarian cyst and it need to be removed. She is the panel doctor of my husband's company. I am not quite happy with her explanation. Can anybody recommend a gynaecologist who is good at surgery?

You say that you are unhappy with the explanation, then your first need is a Dr that is good at explaing things. I would suggest Dr Ghosh.

I've had an ovarian cyst too. It was found 2 years ago when I was pregnant. While I was super nervous by the time, my doctor kept me posted with the situation when regular medical checks were conducted. And, he did offer detailed pre-surgey explanations and advices with due care to me. The cyst was removed right after the birth my baby and my wound recovered very quickly. I'd recommend him to you without reservation. I think he is a renowned specialist in gynaecology in town. You may contact him at 2525 9213. Good luck to you! : )

I would recommend Dr. Joe Chan. I was referred to him by another gynaecologist about 2 months ago when I was found to have an ovarian cyst during routine checkup. My gynaecologist thought that the cyst could be malignant. It scared me a lot. According to her, Dr. Chan is a gynaecological oncologist and he is also capable to do cancer surgery through key-hole surgery.

Dr. Chan impressed me so much even at the first visit that he is very kind, professional and caring. He explained to me clearly and greatly reduced my anxiety. I eventually had the ovarian cyst removed through a few holes in my tummy. The operation was excellent and I was totally pain-free after the surgery. The cyst turned out to be benign.

His number is 25233328. Don't worry, he will solve your problem.

Thanks for the girls' suggestions. I did go to see Dr. Joe Chan today. Then, I noticed that vyvy and mum2be are referring to the same Dr Chan.

I shared the same feelings as the girls that Dr Chan is really kind and caring. Although he looks quite young:), he is really professional and knowledgeable. He is not as commercial as the one I saw before. He told me that my ovarian cyst is most probably benign and I may choose to observe rather than to have surgery. He suggests a repeat scan in 2 months and then decide on whether to have surgery.

Annhall - can I ask the size of the cyst you have? I have the same problem and waiting for a further scan to see if it's shrinking. My doctor has also advised if it doesn't shrink it will have to come out! Not sure if she's being over cautious!

Hi, buz, my cyst is about 4 cm. My doctor told me that apart from size, we also have to look for other features of the cyst, such as the content and the surface of the cyst to assess the need for surgery. He also checked my blood for a marker.

Why don't you go to see Dr. Chan for a second opinion? He is very good, kind and patient. Absolutely, no hesitation to ask him questions. His office is at Central and his no. is 25233328. He should be able to ease your mind and help you making a rational decision.

Referral is certainly not needed, as I did not bring one last time. I am afraid that tomorrow is a public holiday and Dr. Chan 's clinic may be closed as shown in his card. You may try Saturday or call him at 77742323 for urgent appointment if needed.

I've been to two or three doctors in HK and was finally referred to Dr Choy at Care for Women. I was told I had a serious gyn problem but it wasn't the case. Dr Choy put my mind completely at rest. What a relief! I would highly recommend her.

Hi, Tica. why is there so much difference in opinion between the doctors? How about if Dr. Choy is wrong, you will be in great trouble. Anyway, good luck.

thanks mum2be. I think it all depends on your personal problem and having confidence in your doctor and the diagnosis. You tend to know if treatment is or is not working. All I can say is that in my case Dr. Choy was right. Nothing wrong with second opinions in serious cases but Care for Women and Dr Choy will be my first port of call from now on!

I was/am also a patient of Dr Joe Chan. I notice that all the comments are 'kind, caring, professional, patient, not commercial'. It's really really true. I had a complex operation performed by Dr Chan when he was still an Associate Consultant at the Hong Kong Hospital Authority 2 years ago. He's just like a friend visiting me in the hospital when he saw me the next day after my operation. That made me feel much relaxed. For my follow-up medical consultations, he could spend 45 minutes to see me. He had never shown rush and even allowed me to consult him over the phone. It’s incredible for a government doctor in Hong Kong! I really feel lucky that I have met such a caring doctor who not only looks after me physically, but also psychologically. To me, he’s a doctor that can be trusted and relied on. His wife, now works at the same clinic, is also highly praised by her patients too. A nice couple.
