complex ovarian cyst
yes i was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst with debri in my right ovary. what exactly is it? and can it be life threatening?
hello to anybody an deverybody
new today to this support forum....I am in Hawaii out of Canada and 48 hrs ago they discovered I have a 7.2cm lesion on left ovary -they see neoplasm in the differential....what is that!!!
I have scared myself silly, do not know anybody here, or any of the drs. I see two gyns tomorrow - to decide whihc one i feel comfy with and the best care........I am convinced I have OC!!!
My mind is racing an d I sure could use some support at the moment. I had bad stomach/abdomen paid which had gone away and they found the mass on the ultrasound.....I wonder if they take a long time to develop I have been feeling great........

I did read recently that the problem with these type of cysts is that if they burst and are full of gunk they can cause peritonitis which needs immediate medical attention. I had a large simple fluid filled cyst that doctor just wanted to watch. It burst and all was well. But when I got the complex cyst (2 on one ovary, both over 3 cm) doctor wanted them removed. I lost my ovary and tube due to those.
Hope everything turns out okay for you.

Hi Elizabeth,
Do you know the size of your cyst or have any other information from the ultrasound report? I'm assuming you had an ultrasound, since debris was seen.
I've had a few similar cysts, with debris - they were all very small 1.5 cm or less. My gyn has watched them come and go for almost a year. Since they resolve on one side, then I will get another on the other ovary - and it also goes away (they never get big - I also have no syptoms), she doesn't consider them threatening at all.
Hope this helps.
