Question 1

can i drink with one ovarian cyst and its 3.5?

Accepted Answer

: I can't think of a medical reason that drinking socially would have any effect on or be worrisome for someone with this condition.

Question 2

8 week followup u/s for simple left ovarian cyst which remains same. right side (no cyst) now measures 19 cc up from 12cc last time. concerning?

Accepted Answer

No: Simple ovarian cysts are usually benign (not cancer) in a woman in her early 30s.    If they become large or painful, they can be removed with laparoscopic surgery but frequently go away on their own.

Question 3

can complex fluid filled ovarian cysts become cancerous? why might there be a bright ring around it on u/s then no ring on f/u u/s? causing much pain.

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Complex cysts can be cancerous depending on their size and rate of growth. A CA125 test can help decide its nature. Ultrasound is a good test to measure increase in size and also may show any solid components inside the cyst. You should get the ultrasound repeated in 3-4 months and have your gynecologist guide you further. You may need surgical removal if it is causing you much pain or increased s

Question 4

u/s says 5.6cm ovarian cyst resolved, but it still hurts all the time. what could be going on? i'm still having all the same symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Cystic fluid: If the ovarian cyst resolved by rupturing with fluid accumulation on the lining of the internal body cavity (peritoneum), then that's why you are still symptomatic. Eventually this will resolve if that is the case.

Question 5

is a 6 cm simple ovarian cyst something to worry about? 25. my said its benign filled with fluid. she said it will go away on its own. it causes me pain though. should i get a second opinion? i read online this is too big for a simple cyst?

Accepted Answer

: If your (GYN) physician has seen the imaging study and the cyst is a simple one (without complex echogenic structure within) the 6 cm cyst will eventually resolve spontaneously, and may take a followup imaging study if the pain persists. With a less than 10 cm cyst with no internal echo structure, a biopsy is not yet indicated.

Question 6

hello. are simple ovarian cysts usually cancer, i have a 5 cm simple cyst. its filled with fluid?

Accepted Answer

: No, that would be exceedingly unusual. By definition, a cyst is filled with fluid and a simple cyst has no features that make it suspicious. Cysts come and go normally with your cycles and typically represent eggs at some stage towards ovulation. If a simple cyst persists over several cycles, continues to grow, or becomes symptomatic , it might need further management but cancer is still unlikely.

Question 7

2nd time in 3 months an u/s has shown bilateral  ovarian cysts. but i thought only one ovary ovulates each month? r ovary hurts, cyst is 1cm.

Accepted Answer

Bilateral cysts: A one cm ovarian cyst is quite small and in the process of ovulation production both ovaries are stimulated and cysts sometimes forms. You are correct that ovaries generally alternate ovulation, but unless you have PCOS most cysts are benign and unilateral.

Question 8

i know i have an ovarian cyst either ruptured or forming? should i go to the drs to get an u/s just in caseor just leave it because i know what it is?

Accepted Answer

All about pain: As long as you are comfortable and feel you have no urgent concerns, then staying home sounds fine.

Question 9

are ovarian cysts normal?

Accepted Answer

Depends on factors: A simple cyst is very common and often detected on routine pelvic or ultrasound exam and might disappear by the next exam. The more complex ones need further evaluation so doctors can determine the significance of cysts based their size, structure, timing with regard to period and to menopause, etc. Because not all cysts are normal,  i'll share this with specialists in onc for their perspective..

Question 10

are ovarian cysts painful?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes they can be painful.  They usually resolve without specific treatment other than pain management.
