Question 1

can ovarian cysts cause lactation?  i was diagnosed with a 5 cm benign ovarian cyst and was prescribed lutenyl.  now i am lactating.

Accepted Answer

No: No ovarian cyst causes lactation directly. There are many kinds of nipple dischareg and many reasons that are not lactation, you should consider this. Lactation is associated with elevated prolactin levels. You need to be discussing this with your doctor this week!

Question 2

can ovarian cyst  be treated n how ?

Accepted Answer

Patience vs. Surgery: Most ovarian cysts in young women are "functional cysts", which evolve from a follicle that you ovulate from, then grow and finally resolve spontaneously over several weeks.  Birth control pills do not speed up the resolution, but do decrease recurrences.
If the cyst persists then surgery, often laparoscopic, is necessary to remove the cyst and have it tested for cancer.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

can i take primolute n with right complex ovarian cyst? crstadenoma?

Accepted Answer

: If a "complex ovarian cyst" has been determined to exist, it is needful of a biopsy, usually done via laparoscopic surgery.  Contact your GYN physician to schedule this, as complex ovarian tumors require immediate attention.

Question 9

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 10

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.
