Complex Ovarian Cyst
by Merton, Oct 25, 2007 05:44PM
I was diagnosed yesterday with a complex ovarian cyst on my right ovary based on internal ultrasound. It's a little over 4 cm in size. Practioner suggested repeating the ultrasound in 6 weeks. Is it okay to wait this long? What could be causing a complex cyst rather than a simple one?

I also had an ovarian cyst..Mine was 4 cm.I was told to wait...........I do not remember the dr. saying it was a complex..... I was given a transvaginal and they found it on the screen.The good thing was that it was discovered in June and by Aug, did another trans, and it was gone..I hope the same happens with yours......I think this is the best site ever.So informative and puts you at ease.Good luck..................

I have ovarian cysts, tons of lil ones... They can be VERY painful and even rupture.... I ve had one rupture and its not fun, I am guessing that is why they want you to come back in to see if its grown in size so either they can determine if it needs to be removed, or if its just going to stay the same size. Periods also make them flare up. Good Luck :)

Ovarian cyst are very normal, most women have them and don't even know it. Howerver they can get larger and cause pain. Most of the time the rupture on their own and there is no need for sergury. Sometimes they don't. I have a dermoid cyst and it is 9cmx9cmx4cm I will have to have it surgically removed. Most cyst are not anything to worry about. However if they are reaccuring and painful I would suggest you see your Dr.
