complex ovarian cyst

Question

I had an ultrasound on Saturday because I have been having pelvic pain, pressure and pulling on the left side of my abdomen for over a year now.  During the ultrasound, the technician found a 5 cm complex ovarian cyst on my left ovary that is pressing on my bladder.  So that was 5 days ago & I have not heard from my gynecologist.  I called her office & told the nurse what was found and asked if I needed to be worried at all.  She said that if the doctor needed to talk to me after reviewing my results, she would call.  So I still have not heard anything.  And I do not know much about ovarian cysts so I don't know if I need to be concerned or not.

not a Dr. · Answer

First of all, not knowing is the most difficult and worrying is a wasted emotion.  I have been doctoring since March and my pain has been determined to be a gynocological one.  I had a C.A.T. scan a few weeks ago and a few days later I called my Doctor and was told he was going on vacation for three weeks and they proceeded to make an appt for me.  My appt is tomorrow and I've been waiting six months to find out what's up.  I UNDERSTAND YOUR AGONY.  I can only suggest you keep calling the Doctor's office because you are not their first priority but getting some answers are YOUR first priority.  I'll say a prayer for you that all comes out fine!

dont be afraid to be proactive, afterall its your health, noone should mind you making a phonecall. when cysts get to 5 cms they dont tend to go away, you may need to have it removed, so ring your doctor. its a good idea to have an onc/gyn as thet specialise in this area, 99% of cysts are benign but they need checking out. take care sharon.
