Avatar f tn Were they able to determine if it is attached to your ovary? Sometimes when the size is that large is it hard to tell where it came from. But if it is complex (has solid parts) then it is more worrisome for cancer. Try not to worry because most cysts do turn out to be benign...even large ones. But, since you are post menopausal and your mass is so large...you should consult a gynecolgical oncologist just to be safe.
Avatar f tn 18mL. Can anyone explain to me the difference in size being so large? Would that volume include the cyst? I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole thing.
501229 tn?1210133631 “Even for large cysts - those that are more than 3 inches (similar size to my cyst) in diameter - normal ovarian tissue can almost always be saved. Remember that the ovaries contain hundreds of thousands of eggs, so that the loss of a small number should not make a difference in your fertility, your hormone levels or the age at which your menopause will begin.
Avatar f tn it says the right ovary contains simple cysts measuring 2.0 and 0.9 cm in size. the left ovary contains simple cysts measuring 0.7,0.8 and 0.5 cm in size. IMPRESSION: bilateral ovarian cyst. I asked my doctor if that is normal and she said yes. I have look for info in internet and it says is not normal to have bilateral ovarian cyst. HELP please!
Avatar f tn the right ovary is enlarged measuring 7.6 x 4.4 x 3.7 cm with a relatively large right ovarian probable simple cyst measuring 4.1 x 4.1 x 4.2 cm with a contiguous complex cyst possibly a hemorrhagic cyst measuring 3.2 x 3.1 x 4.
Avatar f tn Anechoic cysts tend to be filled with fluid so that is a good sign. Cysts related to ovarian cancer tend to be complex (with solid parts) and grow larger than 5cm. Most cysts (even complex ones) turn out to be benign. It is the general recommendation to watch and wait cysts that are simple and under 5cm. But, since your cyst is already 4.1 cm., I can see why your doctor has mentioned surgery as a possibility. It is possible for your cyst to go away on its own in time.
Avatar n tn Are you menopausal now or going through peri-menopause? If you're still having some cycles, then your cysts are probably normal. The cyst size is about the norm for monthly functional cysts. Hot flashes, emotional upheavals, erratic periods and insomnia are some of the usual symptoms of peri-menopause. Your doctor can monitor the cysts, make sure they don't get too large or cause problems.
Avatar f tn Quite commonly you'll get a cyst on the follicle from which the egg was released during ovulation. I had one on my left ovary in the very beginning of my pregnancy, so the doctor knows that I ovulated from the left side. Not sure the size of mine, but I have heard it can cause some issues if it is really large. If it's "normal" size and from ovulation, it will typically just go away on it's own. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Avatar f tn I am sorry you had a hysterectomy and at such a young age. I have read that ovarian cysts are more common in women who had hysterectomies but if you have not had a problem with them until now, then I guess you have been lucky. The blood test for ovarian cancer, CA-125, isn't all that accurate anyway so not sure it would be helpful.
Avatar f tn So they cannot always tell the type of cyst on imaging. The size oftentimes dictates treatment. When cysts are on the small side, the standard is to schedule another ultrasound to see if it has grown, shrunk or gone away. The large majority of cysts do resolve on their own in 2-3 months, no intervention / surgery needed. Do you have a copy of the ultrasound report? It should detail the size and characteristics of the cyst(s).

Avatar n tn Hello , I had an ultrasound today and the gyn. saw an ovarian cyst size 5.6cm. I have always had this cyst, but i has slowly grown. Until now my gyn has said its fine and o.k., now he wants it removed. I am 50 and menopausal. I also have a thick endometruim. The doctor is talking of laparoscopy and then maybe hysterectomy at the same time. I am doing a c125 blood test first. HAs anyone had anything like this.
1798025 tn?1333814468 It has been observed that women who use OC pills have fewer chances of ovarian cysts so birth control pills may be effective in decreasing the size of these cysts. Painful cysts or very large cysts are removed surgically.Endometriomas and PCOD are associated with decreased fertility. It is best to clarify your doubts with your gynecologist. Hope it helps. Take care and regards!
545669 tn?1214492031 You mentioned that it was large. Do you know the size? Have you had a CA 125 test done? I'm not sure how accurate that would be during pregnancy since different things can skew the results. I think a lot would depend on the size of the cysts.
Avatar n tn I have larger cysts about the size of a large grapefruit apparently. I have recently had a vaginal ultrasound and only one cross hatch on the cyst so they don't think it is cancerous. I have, however, recently been having very bad back pain and weight gain. My doctor said that the cysts are not the cause of this but these posts indicate that the cysts may cause these symptoms. Should I get the cysts out and if so, the ovaries too? I am 49 and can't have kids.
Avatar f tn I do not think menstrual clotting is an indication of a rupture. Cysts are outside the uterus (if they are true ovarian cysts), and ruptured ones would not show up in menstruation.
Avatar f tn can a small ovarian cyst (golf ball size) be cancerous or does it have to be larger? and can I have ovarian cancer and still have a normal ca-125 level? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Have you been told the size or type of cysts? Unfortunately I don't know what the large blood vessels means. When do you hear from your doctor on the results? Your symptoms are very indicative of ovarian cysts. There is some good information on the health pages (top right). Please keep us posted.
596192 tn?1225446998 s a link from another site that should make you feel a lot better. There are several types of ovarian cysts and some of them can grow very large. Your gp needs to just refer you to a gyn to make the correct dx about the type of cyst you have and then to give you the recommendations regarding your treatment plan. 95% of ovarian cyst are benign as ally states in the post above. Have you had a TV/US and a Cat Scan done?
