Left adnexal complex cystic mass

[cowboys88]

Age 48. Had a partial hysterectomy in 2002 for uterine fibroids & endo.  Past 6 months I have  noticed bowel changes (going many times a day), gas & abdominal distress after eating, lower back pain, and fatigue.   My GP is out of town until Friday and I cannot get in to see OB/GYN until June 18.  Should I try to get another Gyn  & get in sooner?  I am concerned about what this all means.

"The right ovary measures 4.6  x 2.5 x 3.0 cm.  This is enlarged, and blood flow is normal.  There is a 17 x17x15 mm follicle but no evidence of any peripheral subcentimeter cysts.

The left adnexa contains a complex cyst measuring 5.0 x 2.2 x 4.1 cm but no ovarian tissue is seen. This has multiple septations and echoes.  It is not certain if this represents the left ovary but this is a complex cystic mass and should be carefully followed.
Impression:
Left adnexal complex cystic mass. No discrete left ovary is seen.  This could represent a left ovarian cystic mass and should be followed as neoplasm is a possibility."

I think you should get in to see another gyn as soon as possible. Not because it is cancer but because you are uncomfortable and because the impression is that cancer is a possibility.  Now, that being said, 98-99 % of all cysts are benign but there is no way to know definately until a biopsy is done and sent to pathology.  The best advice anyone can give you is.....YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME......it is imperative you have a gyn/oncologist as your surgeon.  These are the specialists trained for what you are dealing with.....don't take a chance with your future.  Any cyst reaching 5 cm is routinely removed and biopsied....if cancer is found there will be a procedure called "debulking' which involves removing as much cancer as possible...that is where the gyn/oncologist's additional training comes in.  This is very important.
Still, remember always that 98 - 99% of all cysts are benign.  
The not knowing is always the hardest.  Hang in there and keep in touch.  Come here as often as you need to.....we all remember how much the fun  "wait and see" is.
Peace.
