What to do?
On monday I noticed a pain in my lower abd I work at a clinic and through out the day It begain to hurt more and more, I questioned the doctor I work for about it and the pain was coming from the area my appendix is at so we did a ct abd and pelvis to see what was going on and they found a 3.4x 4.4 complex cystic lesion within the right adnexa may represent a right ovarian hemorrhagic cyst. The pain is very intense but the doctor doesn't seem to concerned. I have had some kinda crazy bowel movements nausea and fatuige over the past few months. The doctor said if I would feel better I could go to an obgyn and have them do an ultrasound to double check. I would just hate to waiste the money for them to tell me there is nothing they can do. What should I do and should I be concerned?
thank you for your responce I did go and the doctor suggested we remove it I am schedualed for surgery on wensday. Ill just be glad when its all over
It is perhaps wise to see a gynecologiest to get more information on how the complex cyst is structured. Pressure from a cyst can cause those symptoms (fatique, nausea, bowel movement issues) as well as local and referrred pain.
If it is hemorrahgic, it may be partically or fully breaking down which causes the contents such as fluid to enter the ab cavity and then have to be reabsorbed. Being complex, it may be only one chamber that is breaking down while others are still present. Diagnosing a complex cyst is about as complex as the name implies. More concern is shown for cysts that have solid features as those are the areas that could potentially become ovarian cancer, although thankfully this is rare. It still should be watched. At around 5 cm they start to talk about recommending surgical removal, or if symptoms simply make life unplesant enough to warrant earlier removal. Many can be removed laparoscopically as an out patient procedure in a hospital.
I don't think it would be a waste of money to get this checked by someone that has a stronger expertise on ovarian cysts. It will either resolve itself on its own, remain unchanged, or grow and get worse. You need to figure out which of these possibilities is occurring and catch any potential for the "worse" very early for the best outcome.
