Ovarian Cyst and Thyroid Nodule...Related?

[Prisslozzi]

About three weeks ago during a regular check up w/ my gyn, he discovered a cyst on my left ovary. An ultrasound confirmed a 2.1X2.7 complex, septated cyst. I recieved a copy of the report from the lab and it also mentions that I have cystic changes in my endometrial lining. My gyn told me to make an appointment for a month and we will re-evalutate the cyst. Then just this week I went to an ENT to have my sinuses evaluated for chronic sinusitis and he discovered a Thyroid Nodule in my thyroid. I have an appointment this week for an u/s of my thyroid. I have a family history of colon cancer and thyroid disorders, hyper and hypo. I have almost all the characteristics of having Hypothyroidism, but only a year ago my TSH was normal. I was wondering if the two disorders could be related? If anyone has any insight or knowledge, I would most appreciate it...

Hi Prisslozzi,
I hope you don't mind me asking about your septated cyst. What has happened so far since your last post in April? Is it benign or malignant? Did you take it out?

I found 1 septated cyst on the other ovary last week and I am so scared of ovarian cancer.

Thanks

I too found a 5 cm benign thyroid nodule at the same time I found a 2.3 cm simple cyst.  The cyst is still here since 2004.  The thyroid nodule was taken out in Feb 2006.  My US last week shows a septated cyst on the ovary.

I think it has to do alot with hormonal imbalance.  My weight swing is fast and often. It can be a 4-10 lbs swing to either side.

Thanks for the input. Every little bit of information helps.

Well, both areas are governed by the same system.  They are both a part of the endocrine system.  I always had irregular periods, problems concieving, etc.  Then I found out I had hypothyroidism and one year later had a nodule that was cancer.  I also have had multiple problems with cysts.  My left ovary was actually taken out b/c it was, along with the tube, disconnected from my uterus (unicornate) and completely cyst filled.  Then since the cancer I have had multiple cysts on my right one, but completely managable.  

Probably not a whole lot of help, but that's what I know about it.
