As far as the size, the mass is  very roughly 1 and 1/4 inch by 1 and 1/2 half inch.   The mass was originally just less than one inch in size.  Hypoechoic means that there is less echo from the ultrasound, which is an indication of greater fluid content, if I am recalling my studies correctly. A hemorrhagic cyst is one that is 'bleeding', and if the cyst is leaking fluid into itself then it will indeed be growing in size.
