Fibroid Health

I am having laproscopic surgery next week to remove a dermoid cyst. Help!?

I am 25 years always been healthy never any health issues until last year. In March of last year i decided to get off of birth control pills in Feb. i got off the pill and i never recieve a period for about 4 months. After several pregnancy tests resulting negative they gyno decieded to put me back on birth control to regulate my period. My periods have since then been somewhat normal. But a few months ago i started getting pelvic pain, swollen stomach. Dr. just told me i have a dermoid cyst on my right ovary thats about an inch. And a fibroid tumor on my uterus. How do they know its a dermoid cyst and not ovarian cancer? Also why arent they removing the fibroid?

The composition of a dermoid cyst is different then that of a malignancy. A dermoid cyst is not common, but in women diagnosed with them, they are usually detected during child bearing age. Check out the website I posted below. If you would have ovarian cancer you would have presented with other symptoms in addition to the lump.
To answer your other question, you should really ask your doctor. However, I would guess they are not removing the fibroid because it is benign and it could cause more damage removing it than leaving it on. If you are trying to have children the doctor will want to be as minimally invasive to your reproductive organs as possible.
