A member asked:

42 yrs old, still cycling, with simple ovarian cyst that slowly grows (@4cm) & history of pcos. dr said total estrogens of 545 is normal? not high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cysts: At 42, the ovaries require more stimulation to achieve a release of an egg (ovulation). Sometimes the egg does not rupture the follicle (small fluid filled area around the egg before ovulation) and a persistent cyst results. At "4 cm." it will eventually rupture and pain will result temporarily. With PCOS you may be better taking low dose oral contraceptives. Ask your doctor to consider this.
