Question 1

went to er and found out i have ovarian cyst its 3 cm and having a lot of pai, but they wont remove it why not?

Accepted Answer

Usually resolve: Ovarian cysts usually resolve on their own with time. There is always risk with a surgery to remove them. It is usually better to wait and let the body take care of it.

Question 2

i discovered an ovarian cyst about 3 cm in july. now having pain, does the pain cause by the cyst? must i get my doctor to remove it.

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: Hi, most of time the treatment for Ovarian cyst in premenopuasal women is a watchful wait, which means an ultrasound repeated in 6-8 wks to monitor for any changes but your doctor will determine that base on the size, symptoms and shape of the ovarian cyst, in some cases some doctors offer birth control pills during the watchful period. Now ur pain could be 2/2 cyst or not, I believe an evaluation

Question 3

i have irregular periods and ulrtasound detected ovarian cyst 4.3 cm & et 8.4mm. gync prescribed me meprate 10mg 3 times for 5 days. is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Meprate is safe and you can continue to take as adviced by your physician.  Good luck !

Question 4

i may have an abnormal he 4 blood test. do i have ovarian cancer. i have an ovarian cyst 3.4 cm which is being monitored with transvaginal ultrasounds?

Accepted Answer

An abnormal HE-4: Is not good but what is the ca-125 or did they do an ova-1? And if you are not , you should be referred to a gyn oncologist for evaluation and is not hard to remove that ovary through the davinci or laparoscope if necessary, as at your age the ovary is worthless and hopefully it will be benign.

Question 5

how long will ovarian cyst pain last? 3.6 cm cyst diagnosed @ er w/ ct, had pain/bloating for 3 days, gyno did no further tests but said should goaway

Accepted Answer

Very differently: If it is functional (follicular) cyst, really should go away.
If not, it might stay.
In any case should be followed up.
The symptoms described may not be related to the cyst.

Question 6

ct scan & 2 ultrasounds july '12 showed 3 ovarian cysts (10 cm)-1 mo. later also showed cyst at "mouth" of cervix. now dull ache in abdomen/pain in ba?

Accepted Answer

Likely cyst pain: The size of your cyst(s) is large and the mouth of cervix description may indicate growth and likely is the cause of your dull ache. I would consider surgical removal.

Question 7

is a 3.4 cm ovarian cyst big?

Accepted Answer

A little big: Around ovulation, the follicle measures around 2 cm, so this is a little bigger. It's not so big, though, that it can't be watched. It will likely resolve on its own.

Question 8

how big is 4.8 cm x 3.5 cm ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

4.8 cm x 3.5 cm: It is a medium sized cyst overall.

Question 9

i have had a 7 cm ovarian cyst for 3 years,  is this common?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not all ovarian cysts are cancerous. You cyst is quite large &amp; I assume that your gynecologist is following it &amp; has made a judgement to just keep an eye on it if it has not changed.

Question 10

what should i do if i have a 3 cm ovarian cyst and plenty pain?

Accepted Answer

Be evaluated: This cyst can rupture or twist on its vascular pedicle. You need to be evaluated by your doctor.
