t know much about Vagifem side effects but I do know about fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts. Was your pelvic pain on one side or the other? I know that ovarian cysts can cause bloating and back pain. By "TV" do you mean vaginal? What is your GP going to biopsy if they don't know what is in there? I had my uterus removed for several fibroid tumors and am now dealing with ovarian cysts. May have to have one removed in November if it hasn't shrunk or absorbed.
I am 49 and have a long history of simple ovarian cysts which cause a lot of pain. I had one of these in early May. When I went back for another vaginal ultrasound 6 weeks later, the cyst on the right was gone, but there was now a 4.7 cm, irregularly shaped septated cyst on the left ovary. I am having another ultrasound tomorrow, but am very worried because I have been experiencing almost all of the typical symptoms of oc. I need honest insight into the situation. Thanks!
In this retrospective study, the serum CA19-9, CA125 and CP2 levels of 273 hospitalized patients with ovarian tumors of either mucinous or non-mucinous type were analyzed. RESULTS: (1) CA19-9 had the biggest area under curve (AUC) in mucinous tumors followed with CA125 while CA125 and CP2 had bigger AUC in non-mucinous tumor. (2) For the diagnosis of mucinous tumors, CA19-9 and CA125 combination showed a greatly increased sensitivity compared with CA19-9 or CA125 alone (93.8% versus 75.
I am sorry you have to go threw this it is very stressfull to have this hanging over your head. Keep in mind most cysts are benign!!
My wife was recently Dx with granulosa Cell cancer( GCT) Jan 2010 and I know what it feels like to not know what the next step is. Here is a quick overview.
Tests like sonograms, Cat scans and MRI's along with blood tests like CA125, Inhibin A&B, MIS and CEA are just used as a guides for the Dr's to help assist in making a diagnoses(Dx).
Hello,
Enlargement of ovaries can be found in cysts, benign or malignant growths , endometriosis, benign tumors and ovarian cancer. You need to consult a gynecologist and get tests like 2 hr GTT, serum androgen and testosterone levels, LH-FSH ratio, prolactin levels, TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound done.
I hope it helps.
Hi I've been having symptoms like sensitivity to heat, tired all the time, nausea etc.. Also I have fibrocystic breast disease, had fibroid tumors,size of lemons, i've had ovarian cysts, it's just weird that I have had so manycysts throughout can this all lead to cancer. My 5 nodules measuring 5mm i have one more month before they do an ultrasound the funny thing is my blood work was all normal but the ultrasound found the nodules plus it's pretty enlarged.
Hi, I am 44 (almost 45) I also have an enlarged uterus with a large fibroid. I also had some ovarian cysts. back in June I had a 6cm complex cyst on the left, and several simple cysts on the right. they have since resolved. I just came from 2nd op gyn, and he did an tv/us in his office,along with endometrium biopsy. Am scheduled for a partial hysterectomy on sept 22.
I was diagnosed with a fibroid the size of a grapefruit and it is pressing on my bladder. I also found out that I have an ovarian cyst. I have been in extreme pain for the last 2 weeks. But then my pain got alot better overnight. I started feeling nauseated and throwing up. Does one have to do with the other?
I am 37 yrs old never had children and have been diagnoised on ultasound with two small (2.8 cm and 1cm)complex cysts on my right ovary and one 1cm complex cyst on my left ovary. I have not had a period in over one year and am in some pain with other various symptoms. My GYN took blood yesterday for four tumor markers but I do not know results yet. If the marker test results are negative, she wants to do laproscopic surgery and take biopsies of these cysts to identify them.
Some of the causes of irregular periods are ovarian cysts, stress, anemia, and hormonal disorders like thyroid and adrenal malfunction.
Please consult your OBGYN as soon as possible as exact cause can be identified only after a clinical examination and tests like ultrasound and blood test.
Take care!
Ovarian cysts generally come and go and resolve on their own. I know some ovarian cysts do interfere with ovulation. Fibroid also , if they're too big, interfere with embryo implantation.
You say you've been trying for over a year....if this is the case and give the cyst and fibroids I would schedule an appt to visit the doctor.
A transvaginal ultrasound (TV) is the most valuable diagnostic study in the evaluation of an adnexal or pelvic mass/suspicious cysts. Cysts, hemorrhagic cysts, endometriomas, and dermoids have a high predictive diagnosis via TV ultrasound.
An MRI is usually the next test that should be given as they are more precise when read by the right radiologist.

Hi,
I am 32 years old and recently went to my physical test and everything is normal. But I have gone through ultrasound and they found complex cyst in my right ovary and fibroid in my Uterus. My Primary care doctor said both are not dangerous nothing to worry. And my Gyn is saying that the cyst may be cancerous. We are planning for kids and heard this bad news. I don't have any one in my family with cancer. Will I be in danger. I am very depressed.
