A member asked:

I have a complex multi septated ovarian cyst at 9.5 x 5.6 x 6.3 cm is that something to be concerned about ? brca 1 family history, i tested negative

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: While it is impossible to predict whether or not ovarian cysts/masses are benign or cancer, usually large ones need to be dealt with surgically. May want to see a gyn oncologist for an opinion since they deal with this frequently. Cancer would be very unusual in a 23 year old. Hope this helps!
