Question 1

can ovarian cysts cause a rise in fsh levels?

Accepted Answer

Not typically : An ovarian cyst should not impact the FSH level. FSH is produced by the Pituitary gland in the brain. The levels vary depending on the timing of the menstrual cycle

Question 2

had ovarian cyst with normal result of fsh & lh, does these value change from cycle to cycle or remain same? ive to do the test once or every month?

Accepted Answer

It varies from day -: -day even, but as long as it’s in the normal range it’s ok. The second part I’ve to do the test once or every month. Only the gyn that’s handling your care should be asked this as well as why it is being followed.

Question 3

51 yr old female had a hysterectomy but have both ovaries. have an ovarian cyst 4.2cm blood results fsh 19.6  lh 11.7 oestradiol 74  progetorone .8?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Cyst on ovary may be a type that goes away on its own - a functional cyst - or a benign growth that will need surgery to remove. Seeing what the cyst does over the next few months will show which it is. The blood tests show you are getting near to menopause but not there yet.

Question 4

hi i had an fsh level of 2 on day 20 and progesterone 22, 38 years old. do i have ovarian failure? hav 4 children already

Accepted Answer

No: Your FSH is normal for your reproductive age.

Question 5

i have premature ovarian failure. my fsh level is 13.6 miu/ml, lh 12.5 miu, prolactin 14.53 ng/ml estradiol 449.1 pmol/l. what does this mean please?

Accepted Answer

Not Sure yet: None of those labs indicate premature ovarian failure. Usually your fsh is very high and amh is very low. It looks like you need a more full evaluation.

Question 6

pelvic pain, low progesterone levels, ovarian cysts, what is wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say..: These may not be related to each other. Many things can cause pelvic pain, if you have large ovarian cysts (>4cm) they may be the cause, but smaller ones less likely to cause pain.Low prog levels (&small ov cysts) are both normal during certain phases of menstrual cycle. But low prog can cause mood sx, anxiety, sleep disturbances. If you have these natural Progesterone tx may help.

Question 7

can a 4.2cm ovarian cyst produce more discharge that is quite clumpy? vaginal ph levels are great.

Accepted Answer

No: Vaginal discharge is not produced by ovarian cysts. The natural flora of the vagina consists of 9-12 different bacteria, the most common of which is lactobacillus. The discharge is more likely due to an imbalance of the natural flora despite a normal pH level.

Question 8

2 ovarian cyst, one 8 cm and the other 6cm. had vus done, low level echos. going back in 2 months for review. ca-125 in normal limits.  concered?

Accepted Answer

Low degree of concer: Most common cause of such benign cysts are functional cysts that are very common in reproductive age females. Unless, presenting with symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, fever etc), your physician may opt to follow them with a repeat us in 3-6 months. 
Unless you have strong family hx of cancer, or personal hx of cancer, there is a low level of suspicion for ovarian cancer.

Question 9

can ovarian cysts cause elevated hcg levels?

Accepted Answer

If there is a tumor: A small number of ovarian tumors make hcg. If you have high HCG and are not pregnant, please consult your doctor. Even if you are pregnant consult your doctor for pre-natal care.

Question 10

my thyroid level is 13.21 h my b12 is 1793 h i have a ovarian cyst. can this all be related?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid disease: Any thyroid abnormality, whether excessive thyroid hormone or less than normal can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, but either  does not generally cause ovarian cysts. Your B12 level will not cause an ovarian cyst.  Ovarian cysts are spontaneous, and at 56, may require surgery to diagnose the cause.  See your physician for advice soon.
