Cyst concern

I have a 6cm septated ovarian cyst.  I'm wondering if will rupture or go away on its own or do I need to seek surgical intervention? (I had a hysterectomy in Nov. 2011)

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would reassure you that a small thin septation is probably not a sign of ovarian cancer.  I would also suggest repeating the ultrasound in within 1-3 months with doppler ultrasound if the cyst has not resolved by then.  Blood tests that might be used would include CA 125 and HE4.
Hope this helps!

I notice you only write once to each post so probably no reason to give you follow up stories huh?

Wow!  You called it!  They did draw a CA-125 today and are going to recheck the ultrasound in 1 week!  Thanks again!!

Thank you for responding.  I don't think I can wait another week let alone another month. It is causing me daily pain!  I saw my PCP yesterday and the ultrasound I had last week called it a possible adrenal mass vs. ovarian cyst.  Now I am really worried. :o(
