Question 1

can you see a ovarian. cyst on x ray?

Accepted Answer

Not Well: If there is a large ovarian cyst there can be a suggestion of a nonspecific pelvic mass. Ultrasound is far better.

Question 2

my dr said i have a 4cm ovarian cyst. i'm 5 months pregnant. she wants x-rays. i'm super nervous/scared. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: I would recommend following the cyst with ultrasounds.  Most cysts in young women are benign and can be followed during pregnancy without the concern for needing surgical intervention.  What are the ultrasound characteristics of the cyst?

Question 3

will ovarian cysts show on a pelvic xray?

Accepted Answer

No: No they will not. You would need a pelvic ultrasound to see them.

Question 4

could ovarian cyst be seen by xray?

Accepted Answer

No.: Radiographs can distinguish only air, fat, soft-tissue and bone densities. Ovarian cyst is approximately same density as surrounding soft tissue, and thus cannot be distinguished.

Question 5

can you see ovarian cysts on an xray?

Accepted Answer

No: On a plain xray, definitely not. On ct, mri, or us, yes.  Ultrasound is best for characterizing ovarian cysts.

Question 6

will an abdominal x-ray show a ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

xray: An xray doesn't show an ovarian cyst.  That is diagnosed with ultrasound, ct, or mri.

Question 7

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 8

how much does 160 x 85 mm ovarian cyst weights?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That really depends on what it contains. Fluid filled cysts will weigh last than solid masses and that again depends on what kind of solids it contains.

Question 9

how big is a 40.6mm x 39.3mm complex ovarian cyst? can it be cured?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: This cyst is smaller than a tennis ball, and larger than a ping pong ball. Sometimes cysts resolve on their own, and usually a repeat ultrasound is done. If they become large, painful, are suspicious for cancer, or don't resolve, then they can be surgically removed. See your OBGYN to discuss.

Question 10

can my daughter fly with a  ovarian cyst ? 
it's 13cm x 10 cm we are flying thursday

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, this is fine.   There is nothing concerning here! Have a great trip!
