Should I Be Worried?

I had a CT scan on abdomen/pelvic area a few days ago and the report said I had a simple appearing 2.0 x 1.9 cm ovarian cyst on my right ovary. I have been having pain in my pelvic area for 3 or 4 years and have told them about it before but they are finally listening! Here are my symptoms: painful heavy periods, bloating, lower abdomen area pain that gets really sharp upon using the bathroom and pain during intercourse. The pain in the lower abdomen is intermittent but predominately there most of the time. Do you suppose I've had smaller cysts for years just not big enough for them to detect on Reg pelvic exams? Is this size anything to worry about and would a cyst of this size cause pain? Your thoughts please?

Went to the gyno last week and had pap smear, he's sending me for a vag ultrasound next week. He didn't feel the cyst but since it's 2cm could it still be too small to feel and yet still show up on the ultrasound? I'm still having pain like before
