A member asked:

Had a ultrasound scan today. showed follicle on left ovary. i've to go back 12 weeks to check it's not grown. what is this? is it cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Ovarian cysts/follicles are common and vast majority get better on their own. However, you should keep your appointment for the follow-up test.See this site for more information in this topic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-cysts/basics/definition/CON-20019937
