2nd ultrasound
good morning!
this forum has been fantastic for getting info. after 3 months of having a period every 2 weeks, a TVU revealed a 3.9cm complex cyst on my left ovary. tomorrow i will have another TVU after waiting the traditional 4 weeks. here are my questions:
-how often do complex cysts resolve on their own?
-if the cyst has shrunk in size do i still do the wait and see approach even if i am continuing to have symptoms? (no history of OC in my family)
-if it is suggested i have surgery, what would be a resonable time line before getting this thing out? (waiting times in ontario are horrible!)
thanks for your help.

my gp called with results of TVS. said it appears as though the cyst has resolved its self. that is different than what the tec. told me.
gp still putting through referral to gyn.
thanks for listening.

I had a complex cyst 2 yrs ago. The gyn had me wait 6 weeks for another tvu and sure enough, it was resolved.
I actually felt it break the day before the u/s! painful! but glad it resolved on its own. I just recently had another u/s for pelvic pain and have 2 more cysts. The report said they are either solid mass vs complex cysts. The radiologist doctor suggests waiting 3 months and repeat, but my gyn is going to send me to gyn/surg for another opinion. I'm hoping these resolve before that appt.
Also had an EMB and report came back simple hyperplasia without atypia. But doc wants me on progesterone for 6 months.
47 yrs old....ahhh..they said this was coming with age! It kind of bums me out, but from what I read on this board, we are not alone. That is for sure.

I was diagnosed in early March with a 2cm complex cyst on my left ovary. I'm 45 and pre-menopausal. My ob/gyn seemed to think that there was a good chance it would resolve on its own and suggested I wait 5-6 weeks and have a repeat TVU which I did last Tuesday. Fortunately, he was right - there was no sign of it on my most recent u/s. I hope you have the same outcome!
thanks for the response.
another question...if complex cysts rarely go away on their own why do the wait and see thing? all risk factors considered, why not just take it right away?
i'm confused!

Good morning....complex cysts rarely resolve on their own......I have heard of only two .....still, it does happen on occasion.
Personally, if the cyst is still there (smaller or not) I would want it out and I would find a gyn/oncologist to do the surgery as soon as possible.
Though 99% of cysts are benign some are not...there is no history of cancer in my family..however, my cyst was malignant. I am both lucky and glad I didn't wait for it to resolve on it's own.
I am not trying to scare you...I am simply saying it is important to get to the bottom of this and begin a treatment if necessary. If surgery is in the cards make certain you have a gyn/oncologist do it...remember..YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.....have the right medical team for the best results.
Peace be with you.
