Ultrasound said small ovarian cyst w/ suspicious vascular flow

by turtle221, Jun 06, 2008 07:14PM
Hi.  I am a 29 year old with a history of ovarian cysts.  After my last period I had some pelvic pain for about a week so I called my OBGYN and did a transvaginal ultrasound.  The ultrasound was taken on day 15 of my cycle.  It says that the uterus and myometrium are unremarkable and there is no fluid or bowl in the cul-de-sac.  The right ovary is 4x3x3 cm and it has a simple cyst measuring 17x20x24 mm w/out suspicious vascular flow.  The left ovary measures 3x2x2 cm containing a single cyst measing 9x6x8 mm with suspicious vascular flow.  It also notes a prominent pelvic sidewall vessel seen underneath the left ovary.  My doc said that I will need to repeat the test after my period. I was very upset and he said that we need to watch it but due to my age and the size of the cyst malignancy is not suspected.  Due to my stress level the doc said that I could go for a CA-125 test which came back at 22.6.  This is within the normal range.  Could you please tell me if these results sound like they are pointing towards OVCA?  Am I doing the right thing by waiting for another transvaginal ultrasound?  Do you have any idea of the significance of the pelvic sidewall vessel?

Thanks.
