could it be?!!

I went to the doctor recently and they found 3 cyst, two fluid like ones on each ovary and one solid on my right ovary. Could they be cancerous, what does a solid cyst mean, and what will they do to take care of it?

Thank you so much i feel much better now! It was the gp that told me all that he's sending me to an obgyn soon. Maybe he can help better with the pain and things.

HPV cannot cause ovarian cancer, only cervical and  that would not show a cyst on  your ovary.  I know little about cervical cancer and HPV.

A solid cyst is could be something as simple as scar tissue from a simple cyst that burst, fatty tissue....who knows...just remember that most of the time, over 95% they are benign.

1.2 cms is not large at all...most doctors will not even operate until the cyst is over 5 cms when it can start twisting and causing issues.  As for fluid filled cysts, they often resolve on their own.  No one can truly detect ovarian cancer without a biopsy, especially with a cyst that is only 1.2 cms.  

What doctor did the scan?  What kind of doctor is telling you to go within 6 weeks?  They will most likely repeat the scans to see if there is any change....and if you are still menstruating, then depending on where you are in your cycle the cysts could disappear.

Hang in there....it probably is not ovarian cancer, Ovarian Cancer is a very rare disease.

Glad that whatever it is you are taking control of your medical needs and getting answers.  

Please let us know how everything goes when you see the doctor, and if you have more questions.

What did the doctor's say? Follow up visits?  What is the size of the cysts?

Most cysts, over 95 percent are benign.

Did the doctor's do any other tests?
