I need to know how to say this in medical terms its for medical terminology class i cant figure out how to word it just right..please someone help and only answer if you know what you arer talking about please ?thanks!

Answer 1

We in medicine occasionally use English, too. But I think what you're looking for may be something along the lines of "bilateral ovarian cysts." Just a guess, but that "bilateral" may be the word you're looking for.

Answer 2

In medical terms, we call them ovarian cysts.  The medical prefix for ovaries is oophor-, but it's not really used in this situation.  If you have an ovary taken out, it's an oophorectomy.
