I had a scan today due to painfull intercourse, and they found a 4cm cyst on my right ovary, more about my situation below..
1996 i miscarried and had an ovarian cyst, i am sure it went as big as 12 cm and had to be surgicly removed. It grew very quickly.
1999 had baby,
2001 got diagnosed with poly cystic ovarys.
2006 had baby, and needed d&c for retained placenta, following scan 6-12 mnths later showed clear ovarys, horemones back to normal.
august 2007 had implant put in my arm, (implanon), by november/december started getting pain bottom left of my tummy during intercourse, doctors fobbed me off. Moved from wales to england followed up with doctor,
present time, (i am 28 yrs old) just been for scan today and they have found i have a 4cm cyst on my right ovary.
I am pretty worried now, due to my past in 1996, i fear the worst all the time. The radigropher who did my ultrasound, was reasuring some what, told me she will send results to my gp, and i will probably need a follow up within few mnths time to keep an eye on it, and in the mean time perhaps have my implant taking out due to ovarian cyst's being a side affect of it?
Could you offer me some advice/reasurance please? I think i will have the implant taken out, but what do i use for conraception then? Freind (who is a nurse, she did my smear) suggests the POP pill? The safest pill of all? But that too can cause small ovarian cysts?
And do you know what the biggest cm a cyst is when it is dangerous?
Thankyou in advance
