PCOS cysts are described looking a particular way, so I believe the kind of cysts, or if they are caused by pcos by the ultrasound. I believe there is a clear distinction and your doctor should be able to tell you. Search PCOS and you will learn more.
Hello, I am a 21 year old. I am having a laparoscopy on March 30 to have my cysts removed. I am just worried about ovarian cancer. Should I be? Here are my results:
Size of right ovary: 2.4 x 2.3 x 1.4 cm
Left ovary: 6.4 x 6.1 x 3.0 cm
Two large anechoic cystic structures.
Size of cysts:
Cyst 1: 5.9 x 5.0 x 3.3 cm 50.9 cc
Cyst 2: 2.5 x 2.3 x 2.2 cm 6.6 cc
There is no evidence of uterine abnormality. The right ovary is normal
in appearance.
Presence of loculation in the cyst, presence of papillary excrescences which are localized overgrowths of the epithelial lining of a cyst are indirect pointers of malignant ovarian cysts on ultrasound.Endovaginal ultrasound provides more reliable information compared to abdominal ultrasound. It can in few cases do predict about the risk of malignancy if done by an expert ultrasonologist but it can definitely not be confirmed.
I went for an ultrasound today and was told I have a 6cm ovarian cyst. My doctor called it a simple cyst and she didn't seem concerned, she put me on Birth control pills and wants to do another ultrasound in 6 weeks. It is painful during my menses. The ultrasound tech noted increased blood flow to the ovary with the cyst. I have read that could be a sign of malignancy.
1. Two left ovarian cysts are now present. The dominant one measures up to 3.4 cm in size. It is minimally smaller than on previous study of 1/18/08 but continued follow-up ultrasound is requested as detailed above.
2. Uterine leiomyomatous disease suggested. IUD in uterus.
This is what the 3rd one (May) said:
Findings: The uterus measures 8.8 x 4.7 x 5.5 cm in dimension. Within the uterine fundus in the interstitium of the myometrium there is a hyperechoic lesion which measures 1.1 x 1.
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.
It sounds like you have a small ovarian cyst. Most cysts are benign and resolve on their own within a few cycles / months, no intervention needed. Imaging is not exact (MRI may be more so than u/s) so it can be difficult to tell the type of cyst. Some cysts that resolve on their own can appear solid on imaging such as hemorrhagic.

1 cm. A few small subcentimeter left follicular ovarian cysts are identified. There is no longer evidence of previously described 2.0 cm complex left ovarian cyst.
The right ovary measures 3.8 x 2.0 x 4.0 cm and contains a thick walled complex right ovarian cyst measuring 3.4 x 1.4 x 4.0 cm. This was not noted on prior MRI examination. Clinical correlation and close follow-up is recommended.
Small amount of free fluid is noted within the cul-de-sac.
Impression:
Status post hysterectomy.
I would not be happy myself waiting 6 months to repeat the ultrasound . Although most cysts are benign and they don,t usually remove cysts under 5cm , yours has a solid component that i would want monitored frequently .
At your age you have a less than 1% chance it is ovarian cancer. 99% of ovarian cysts at your age are benign. The doctors are covering the basis because you can't see inside and ovarian cancer gets missed so much. I had symptoms and they saw the cysts with me. They did nothing and did not tell me I had cysts because they thought I would worry. By the time they found it in me the cancer was stage 4 and there was not much they could do.

Unfortunately, I've read of cases where surgeons with good cystectomy skills were outside the patient's insurance network and they had to appeal to have this surgery covered as in-network. I don't know if this is common or not. Removal of any part of the reproductive system (even one ovary) can permanently disrupt natural hormone production which can have serious negative effects on many aspects of health.
This is likely arising from left ovary. appearance suspicious for cystic ovarian neoplasm. Malignancy cannot be excluded.
Welcome to the community. It doesn't sound like you have any abnormalities with the exception of having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in which case cystic ovaries in a "strand of pearls" appearance are normal.
PCOS is a metabolic disorder of insulin resistance. Some of the hallmark symptoms are irregular cycles and usually no more than 4 periods per year, excessive body hair, oily and acne prone skin, being overweight or prone to weight gain, and high testosterone levels.
I was experiencing excruciating pain on the left side of my pelvis and the doctor at the ER ordered an ultrasound. The transvaginal ultrasound confirmed that I have the cysts. I have been scheduled to see a gynecologist on Friday Feb 5.
What should I expect on this visit? The ER doctor mentioned the possibility of surgery. I have a follow-up ultrasound on Feb 23rd. What should I be asking my doctor? My head is spinning!
It can be an ovarian cyst. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form in the ovaries. They are common in child bearing age. Mostly they are symptomless But Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture. Get a repeat ultrasound or CT scan done after a few days. preferably after the periods.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
came back with recommendations for a followup pelvic ultrasound due to incidental bilateral ovarian cysts findings.
my ultrasound (pelvic AND transvaginal) results came back this week:
BILATERAL OVARIAN CYSTS found
uterus measures: 9.2 x 3.8 x 4.9 cm
endometrial stripe: echogenic, measuring 1.0 cm
right ovary measures: 4.9 x 1.9 x 3.1 cm
left ovary measures: 6.9 x 4.0 x 5.1 cm
left ovarian cyst: complex, containing septation, measuring - 6.1 x 4.0 x 5.
I resently had a laparotomy to remove what the ultrasound described as being a solid right mass measuring 52mm. Cyst adenoma being the most likly cause of the appearance. After the surgery i was told that 2 small cysts were removed
One a Follicular cyst and the other a corpus luteum. Im trying to understand why what was said to be there was in fact not?
It's hard to say but ovarian cysts are common and there are some that appear solid but are benign (non-cancerous). Here is a helpful website about ovarian cysts - http://ovaryresearch.com/ovarian_cysts.htm. Cysts can alter hormone levels which may explain the tender breasts. However, hysterectomy itself can alter hormone levels because it can impair the functioning of the ovaries.
Let us know what more you find out. Hoping it's nothing serious.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance. And women with PCOS typically have clusters of ovarian cysts. Birth control pills are sometimeshelpful in preventing cysts.
I had a 9.5cm ovarian cyst and I had unrelenting pain for most of a day (was not "doubled over" but I have a high tolerance for pain). I ended up being over-treated.
I am in horrible pain right now, and plan on going to the gynecologist next week. I am going to ask for ultrasound and the ovarian cancer blood test. This worries me.
