10 cm ovarian cyst

[babypooh]

Hello,
I posted a few days ago regarding my cyst.  I went to the doctor again for a blood test that came back normal, but they discovered through ultrasound that my cyst grew from 7cm to 10.3x5.8x11cm in three weeks, and also that I have gallstones.  I called the doctor my gyn. referred me to, but he's only there on Tuesdays.  I asked to speak to any doctor that might help me and no one was there.  I'm tired of not having a doctor to talk to or being on hold forever.  This waiting game really frustrates me. I just want to speak with someone that might tell me if I should be worried about my symptoms; headaches, shoulder pain, sharp pelvic pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, low grade fever sometimes, and if there's any chance that they might speedy up the authorization for my surgery with medi-cal.  
Does anyone know if I should worry about these symptoms or if it's better to go to the ER?  My cyst didn't rupture, since they saw it yesterday in the ultrasound. Is it too quick for it to have grown from 7cm to over 10cm?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi There,
It is very frustrating waiting for a call back.
Reasons to consider going to the emergency room include:
vomiting
increasing, uncontrolled pain
fainting,
swelling of the legs
inability to empty your bladder,
vaginal hemorrhage

Otherwise going to the office to see the doctor is a better choice for comprehensive care.
A growing ovarian cyst should be removed surgically.

Please let us know what happens
take care

I have a friend, who after extreme stomach pains, peeing anally and other symptoms, is now diagnosed as having ovarian cancer. Don't take chance, go see someone.
