recuring ovarian cysts (on diff ovaries)=cancer?

[bqt]

I'm very confused and filled with anxiety. My physician called me last night with the results from my 2cnd ultrasound...the first one showed fibroids and a cyst on my right ovary. now she says that (2 months later) the results show that the cyst on my right ovary has gone but I now have one on my left cyst. she said that something about this has her concerned and that I should do another ultrasound in 6 weeks to see whether she should proceed to (and this is where everything went blurry) see if its gone a way to make sure there is no cancer? whe also mentioned something about concern about the cysts developing due to "muscularity"

I'm confused and can hardly think straight...
so what makes ovarian cysts signal the red flag for cancer? I thought that since the first disappeared, that would be a good sign?
I'm so soo sorry if I'm not making any sense.

in response to your questions,lol.
she mentione it was 2.5 cm and I feel totally ok...the whole reason that I go tmy original ultrasound was because occasionally I would get a sharp pain. I found out that I also have a 6cm fibroid and  3 other 2-3 cm fibroids. but overall I feel fine--no heavy periods or severe pain.

I have gotten more sense out of you than I have seen after scouring the net quite some time! I wish my conversation with my doc wasnt such a blur. In my mind , I thought that the fact that the original cycst is gone is a great sign and this cyst would probably not be any more of a serious issue than the initial. maybe she mentioned cancer because of the way this one looks. but I got the sense that she was concerned specifically because I have a new cyst. hhhmmm.
the one thing that I did find on the net was that I cant do the ca-125 test because I already have fibroids which it would pick upin the test.

thanks agian for your taking the time to respond!!!

Most common cysts occur as a result of ovulation. They are called simple or functional cysts and often break down on their own or after a future ovulation. They are only a real problem if they get too big.

I have not seen the word muscularity mentioned here with others' cyst stories. The cysts that spark concern are more complicated than the ones I already mentioned. They look more solid or irregular or septated (multi-chambered instead of a single shape) and often get called "complex".  Then there are dermoid cysts and cysts that are associated with endometriosis. Any of these could be benign. Or there could be cancer somewhere in that complex mix. Doctors can have a hard time making a diagnosis using all the non-surgical tests, but based on cyst size,  symptoms, length of time it existed, how it looks on imaging tests, and perhaps what highly unreliable tumor marker test results may indicate (CA-125), they can usually make a good judgment call whether surgical removal is necessary or if a "watch and wait" approach is safe to do. The truth is not known until a cyst is fully removed and pathology of it is completed, but it is an extreme thing to do if a cyst is small and benign as the majority of them will be.

Again, I have not seen anyone else use the word muscularity before. Maybe she is referring to solid features? Did she mention size at all? How do you feel? If this thing makes you feel terribly unwell, then " if in doubt, take it out". Most cysts are benign and doctors do not want to rush to remove every cyst that occurs unless they feel a strong reason to do so.
