Hi, I've been researching cysts on the internet for 2wks, and I've finally decided to post here...My cycles have been getting progressively longer (since June 05)I have been going 6wks with no period and it lasts only 4days (no complaints on that)...just wanted to make sure I was okay...I've had sharp brief pelvic pain and cramps with no period, have been having hot flashes too...lots watery discharge on occasion....I mentioned this to ob-gyn at my well woman visit..I asked if it is scar tissue (I've had 2 c-sections)...He said it sounds like scar tissue and he didn't feel anything when he pushed on my abdomen...I had some hormonal blood work done and test for PCOS...all were normal....I had an u/s 2days after my check-up because the dr. wanted to check just to be sure...It was done on the 1st day of my period...Anyway, I'm 26 and had a transab and transvag done and the doc tells me the u/s shows a 5.1 cm complex cyst with debris in it on my right ovary...He said to get another u/s in 6-8wks(from date of last u/s) He says if it hasn't decreased in size that I will have surgery...I have scheduled my next u/s for March 3rd.
Does the "wait and see" approach sound reasonable for a cyst this size?? Do all complex ones necessitate surgery? Will my ovary be removed? Is it probable that this is malignant and Will this kind come back even it's benign??
I really don't wanna' wait 3 more wks. to see what the next u/s shows...I don't like knowing this thing the size of a racquet ball is in me!
Any comment is appreciated!! Thank you.
