Hi Kellebelle,
Pain can be very frightening. Sadly, ovarian cancer rarely hurts. In part, we have not been able to have a reliable test for early detection because there are few if any symptoms to early ovarian cancer.
Pain can be due to a ruptured ovarian cyst, a cyst that twists, or something unrelated such as spasm of the bowel. It is very reassuring that your pain is better.
Most cysts are functional which means that your cyst may have been related to ovulation. It may look funny because of some bleeding into it which is common after ovulation. The appropriate next step is a repeat ultrasound after you have a period to see if the cyst is resolving.
If you do not have any risk factors for blood clots (tobacco use, a personal or family history of blood clots, hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks), it is probably fine to take the birth control pill in your 40s. However, another option might be to just wait this out without the pill.
best wishes to you
Again thanks for your time.I found out that my cyst is 6cm with 5cm cyst inside of it??? The doctor mentioned endometruim or hemoragic.
