Avatar f tn Welcome to the community. I can only say that benign cysts can grow quite fast although they can grow quite slowly too. I don't know about the rate of growth of malignant cysts. Most cysts (even complex ones) are benign and most resolve on their own in 2 to 3 cycles. If they get too large and need to be surgically removed, it is best to have just the cyst removed (cystectomy) since the ovaries are needed our whole lives for the hormones they produce to keep us healthy.
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?
718910 tn?1230310121 Is it possible for a cyst to grow this fast in 7 weeks? I hav already made an appointment to see another Dr.

Avatar n tn I'm 22 and Have suffered with PCO since i was 15. PCO is heireditary so somewhere down the line one member of your family has had it on either side but never known about it. A clue maybe did a member of your family on your side or partners not have children? or struggle to? unless you suffer pain from PCO then you may never have known your daughter suffers from it.
13415927 tn?1430701518 Welcome to the community. Some women have more symptoms than others with ovarian cysts. I had one that did not cause any symptoms until it got to 9cm at which point I had one day of unrelenting pain (but nothing prior to that) which then subsided even though the cyst did not rupture. When cysts get large, they can also cause urinary symptoms as they may be pressing on the bladder. Bowel changes may also occur. I hope your treatment (continuous birth control?) works for you!
Avatar f tn can anyone help me to get to know whether it is dangerous or not??and what is its treatment??and how fast does it grow??what if i start treatment after 1 month??
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 f tn what gets me is your doctor should know what those symptoms are for BOTH! and they BOTH can grow very fast! Please seek help from a doctor who will listen and do whats best for you..take care and please let us know how you are..im sure youll be fine...just dont trust a doctor like that!!
Avatar n tn Having cysts does not mean you will have cancer. It is a good idea however, to keep an eye on them because even harmless cysts can grow and cause other issues. If you have concerns, you should definatley consult with your doctor about them...
Avatar f tn I have heard of this..it is rare, but can happen when microscopic cells get left behind. Sometimes cysts can grow on these remnants. And, sometimes estrogen can get pumped out of those cysts or ovary cells left behind. But, bear in mind that the fat in our bodies do emit a by-product that is a type of estrogen called Estrone. I would ask if that is what they found...if they were able to differentiate the type of hormones you were producing. I am certain they did not find any progesterone...
Avatar f tn I was recently diagnosed with 2 ovarian cysts. One measuring 2.9cm and the other one just starting to grow beside it. My doctor wants to wait and see... My next appointment is not until august. I get random bouts of nausea throughout the day and need help looking for a way to remedy that. I have pills the doctor has given me for the dizziness I experience. Does anyone know of any herbal remedies or vitamins that could help and I could use for my nausea.
Avatar f tn My best friend had some issues with cysts. They did some surgery and discoverd that she had two that were hooked together..one inside the uterus and one outside. They can grow with your hormones. I would call the doctor and find out what type you have and what you should do next. I know that there is good information out there. I would look it up and do some reading. Good luck. I know the reading I did says they can be the size of cantaloupes.
Avatar f tn I understand the pain - that is how bad it was for me - that is when I was diagnosed with PCOS. They don't jump right on the surgery unless the cysts continue to grow and not burst - if they continue to take care of themselves, my dr said no surgery. If the pain and discomfort continues for an extended amount of time - I would request a visit to discuss them again. I used to have ultrasounds every other month to track the cysts and their growth...
Avatar f tn Hi, I would think a CT would be next. I believe it would show more than a MRI. How many vaginal ultrasounds have you had and what is the time frame? It seemed by your original post that they have been watching for a while. I don't know how fast they grow. Every person is different. I guess, given all you've written, it would seem they would be a little more aggressive about getting it out, especially when your ovary and uterus are involved and your breast cancer.
Avatar n tn Most doctors start considering surgically removing cysts once they grow past 5cm. The doctor might try monitoring them for a few cycles or weeks to see if they shrink or grow. You might be given medication to help you get your period if you have irregular periods, since that helps in shrinking the cysts. Good luck and please don't hesitate to ask your doctor lots of questions!
Avatar n tn They think it was another cyst that burst, but it would have had to grow pretty fast to have the fluid show up on the US I would think. How long does it take for that fluid to reabsorb?
Avatar f tn Hello, Frequent urination is not a sign of ovarian cysts. Mostly they are symptomless But Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture. The pinching pain can be due to adhesion formations in the area where the surgery was done. If you are apprehensive regarding the status of your pregnancy you can get it checked. Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG.
Avatar f tn The uterus and ovary will require at least a laparoscopy (a couple of small incisions in the abdomen so the doctor can look around inside). Do you know how large the cysts are in her uterus and ovary? Most doctors will want to remove ovarian cysts after they grow over 5 cm (about 2 inches) in size because if they burst it will hurt like crazy or the weight of one can cause the fallopian tube to twist. They can't make any big decisions until they check it out more thoroughly.
Avatar f tn (3) Another disadvantage I worried most about with laparosocpy is the extent to preserve the normal ovarian tissue. Although one small part of the ovary can function well, if the remaining ovary has cysts re-grow inside, a smaller ovary has a smaller chance to get preserved for the second or third surgeries. So it is better to always preserver more ovarian tissue as possible. From the video below, it seems one half normal ovarian tissue is removed.
1297477 tn?1295949511 I have been just 2 month post laporotomy to remove my medium/large follicular ovarian cyst. I am just curious how common or what the odds of getting another ovarian cyst are?!? I have read a lot of the posts on here and from the looks of it, it is quiet common. My doctor put me on Birth Control to hopefully prevent further cysts but didn't seem totally convinced that it would infact work, and scheduled a ultrasound in october.
Avatar f tn As the previous poster stated, when a small cell of ovarian tissue is left behind, it can start to grow and produce estrogen. In turn, you can start to develope cysts again. I have had 3 cyst rupture and now have a cyst that will be removed on July 17, Since your cyst is small (although it can be very painful) your doctor may try to put you on Birth control pills to see if they can get the cyst to shrink and stop them from growing.
