Hi everyone, I am a newbee, found this site when I was searching for some information on a Cysts I have. For the last year I have developed back pain but with in the last few months the pain became severe and the pelvic area started to to develope pain. The pelvic pain started feeling like menstraul cramps and sometimes felt like I was giving birth (when the head starts to crown-us women remember that pain), well after seeing my family doctor several times she sent me for a pelvic CT. My results showed (the nurse words) "A large size cysts on my ovaries. The size is 3.5 cm by 4.6 cm. I was at my office when the nurse phoned me and there where other people around so i did not ask ?'s about how big is this really-give me an axample of something that will tell me the size. The nurse told me I need to go to my GY/BO and they will be able to answer all my ?'s better then she can and explain to me what will happen but she did say it needs to be removed. I do want you all to know that I have had a hystromentamy (not spelled correctly) back in 1999.

My help is that I need someone to give me an example of how big this 3.5 cm by 4.6 cm cysts actually is. I am going nuts trying to figure out the cm's and was never good with cm's.

Also would like to know your opinions on if you think they will take my ovaries and could there be any chance of cancer?

My husband and I are very worried because a year ago he had bladder and prostrate cancer at the age of 36 and the % for him to have either cancer was LOW so we are worried about the cysts I have. Any help please.
