What should I do about my cyst?

[Jgdance77]

I had a CT scan done because I was having abdomenal pain, and pain in my right lower back. It showed an ovarian cyst. I had an ultrasound that confirmed a 3 centimeter "complex" structure that may be partially ruptured. I went to my doctor who said that 3 cm is not that big, but he was a little concerned that it said complex. he told me to wait 2 menstral cycles and do the ultrasound again, or if the pain continued, we could do a laproscopy.  I am still having pain in my abdomen and back on the right side. My second period is not due for another week.  My doctor also said it could be an endometrioma.  Should I wait this out until after my period, or should I get the other ultrasound now, before my period.  The pain seems to be getting worse.  I am 31 years old, and I dont want to take chances because I want to start trying to have children soon.  My last question is, is this something I should be worried about? Thank you.

And.. (almost forgot) I'd wait till after your period since it's so close.. They like to wait for 2-3 Full cycles at least... hang in there.

I know it's frightening, but cysts are very common in younger women (premenopausal) and your Dr. is following the usual protocol of watching and waiting.. And, also cysts are 95% benign. Chances are it will just disappear on it's own. Was your ultrasound a Trans vaginal ultrasound or Abdominal?? TVUS is better. .

Try not to worry..None of this should affect your fertility.. Did you talk this over with him?
