Interestingly I also have liver cysts - called simple cysts. There may be no connection of course. But I have read somewhere that ovarian cysts can be connected to PPIs. I also have gastro polyps as a result of long term use of PPIs. To avoid the polyps you might want to consider getting off PPIs once you have the acid reflux under control - and then seriously change your diet to make sure you don't get reflux again (less animal fats, sugars, acid food etc.).
I have had ovarian cysts for many years that have been watched by my DR. The last US showed a
Right ovarian cyst does not show overall clear change in size
compared with 5/7/2015, but today shows what appears to be a new
echogenic mural nodule measuring 0.5 cm. MRI is suggested..
What does this mean? I'm scared to death...I'm 65 and on the Kidney Transplant list and One more problem is all i can take. Could someone PLEASE explain this to me. And advice on what I shou;d do.
This will give them a good view of your ovary and any cysts that you may have. Please rest assured that ovarian cysts and cancer have most of the same symptoms. 95% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is common to have pain during exercise, sex, and sitting for long periods of time when you have an ovarian cyst. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
They wantedt to wait and see if they changed in two weeks times so I have a new ultrasound scheduled for next week. i have read alot of posts and seem that ovarian cysts are very common and especially after chemo. If they stay the same can they biopsy my ovary and the cysts before removing the ovary. Or should I just bite bullet and have them take it out? More chemo? What's next.
I went back to the Gyn and she did a pelvic exam and said that everything was fine. There were no cysts and that the back pain must be from something else. Well, two weeks later the pain has gotten much worse. I went to my regular doctor who checked my CBC and wanted to do a ultrasound, but couldn't get in for a week for the ultrasound. The pain is getting worse, so I went to the ER. They were able to do an ultasund and stated that I have bilateral ovarian cysts.
If you are 40-50, then perimenopause is a possible cause. But, ovarian cysts at any age can change your hormones and cause these types of symptoms. Unfortunately, no two ovarian cysts show themselves in the same way. So, it is hard to say without having tests to rule out all other causes. In general the list of symptoms you describe sound like they could be related to menopause. But, if you are under 45, then that is less likely.
But there was no sign of cancer. The statistics say 90-95% of ovarian cysts are benign. I know we all worry about being in the other 5% or so. But the CA125 number is good for you. What would be more worrisome is if it was high. CA125 in younger women can be elevated for so many other reasons besides cancer that it ends up scaring people. In your case it's a good reading.
Most likely your surgery will go smoothly and your pregnancy will continue without much problem.
I agree with Cindy that it is very unlikely to be Ovarian Cancer. However, young girls do get cysts. Actually cysts are very very common in young premenopausal women and 95 % benign. You may want to check the top right of this page; "Health Pages" . It has a lot of information about cysts . Of course we don't know if she even has cysts. And.. we're not Drs. here.. She really needs to be seen my by a Gyn. It could be one of many things.
Turns out I have ovarian cysts, 3 or 4 - the largest being 4.9cm and an enlarged ovary. However, she says my weight is nothing to do with the cysts and that I should go on a diet and do plenty of exercise - if its normal weight it will come off, if its not, it won't! Urghhhhh! What do I have to do to get her to realise that this weight gain is NOT normal for me regardless of the fact that I've just hit 41! Any suggestions anyone?
Just as most ovarian cysts are benign so are most para-ovarian cysts. From what I have read, they don't usually need intervention / surgery. They look for the presence of free fluid (in the pelvis) as one of the traits that may be indicative of cancer. The fact that there is "no free fluid" is good. Hopefully, your doctor will explain this to you.
First of all , you need to remember that ovarian cysts are common. Even the complex ones aren't "rare".. Take a look at the top right of this page" Health Pages" and it will explain a lot about all the different kinds of cysts .
Secondly, remember that 95 % of all cysts are benign. I don't know if there is a connection between the IUD and ovarian cysts.. did you try to google it?
And.. don't be concerned that the Dr. can't say for sure what the cyst may be..
A sonogram cannot detect ovarian cancer, no test can. There is no test to detect ovarian cancer other than an actual biopsy. A sonogram will show if there are cysts/masses/tumors on your ovaries...and if they do say tumors, it does not mean malignancy.
You are entering the menopausal age of your life, there could be numerous different things causing you to bleed.
Hi There,
recurring ovarian cysts can be tough. It sounds like this is unrelated to a malignant change. If cysts occur even with suppression by birth control pills, the cysts are not related to ovulation.
They can be from benign tumors, infection, adhesions with fluid collection, and endometriosis.
One other intervention to consider and to ask your doctor about before surgery is lupron. This puts you into artificial menopause. It is a good way to confirm that the cysts are not from ovulation.
I have never been diagnosed with any cancer, endometriosis, never pregnant, and there is no history of ovarian cancer in my family (although my dad passed away in Dec. from melanoma). The only surgery I have had is emergency appendectomy when I was age 11 or 12 years. The only scans I have had of my pelvis were in the last month (ultrasound then MRI). Blood test for CA-125 tested in normal range, but ultrsound and MRI indicate complex cyst and cannot rule out cystic neoplasm.
If you are less than 50 it is way lower. 98%-99% of ovarian cysts are benign. They can cause the same symptoms as ovarian cancer. It is good they are checking it out because ovarian cancer gets missed a lot. The blood test the CA 125 has a lot of false positives so do not assume you have cancer from the test. You have good doctors.
AS far as removing your ovaries. Keep them as long as you can. Women need them. I used to like my sex life. I am happily married.
