A member asked:

I have a 2cm complex ovarian cyst for 6 months.no free fluid or anything alarming mentioned. dr. said likely functional. worried at word complex.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Complex ovarian cyst: The size of "2 cm" is less likely to be a malignancy, but any complex ovarian cyst should be sampled to make certain. This can be done by a simple laparoscopic surgery, and you should ask your gyn physician to recommend a referral to a gynecologic oncologist for expert advice and a second opinion.
