I have read a few papers advocating untorsing and leaving the ovary, even if it looks dusky, but I can't quite bring myself to do it.<br /><br />I do wish, however, you were taking better care of yourself. You are going to do more damage than good!

That case was several years ago, and we were all impressed with what we found.ER's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203520439121823165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-77820561345742924162009-11-07T03:42:55.914-05:002009-11-07T03:42:55.914-05:00Torsed ovary?
