Cysts

Array

I am 32 years old and was found to have a simple ovarian cyst in Oct 2012 during a routine MRI for my Desmond tumor that was surgically removed in June 2012. I have had MRI s every three months to follow both and the cyst was stable at 3cm from Oct 2012 until Sept 2013 and the last six months it grew to be stable at 4.7 and 4.8cm. I have experienced some discomfort. Treatment has been to continue to observe but I am concerned it is persistent and moved anterior on this last scan. Suggestions?

Thank you. Unfortunately I can't take birth control with estrogen because of my Desmoid tumor.

Hi,
Most of the times, simple cyst of the ovary will resolve spontaneously or with the help of birth control pills. Some cysts may increase in size and a regular follow up is essential. Cysts that grow larger than 5 cm are best removed surgically. Discuss with your Doctor.
