Hi, I am a 47-year-old female with a 6.6 cm complex cyst on my left ovary.  Seven months ago, I had to have my right ovary/tube removed as well as a cyst from my left ovary [all benign].  I am only seven months out and I already have the same problem again so I think it is time to have the whole ovary out.  Last time my cyst was a simple cyst, but this time it is complex with a thin septum.  I had to have a CA125 test today and I am terrified!  The radiologist didn't seem too concerned in his report.  He said to recheck with an ultrasound in 2-3 months.  The thing is, it has grown from 1.8 cm to 6.6 cm in three months so I want it out NOW!  Has anyone else been through a similar experience?  Also, I don't know what to expect when they remove my last ovary.  Can anyone recommend a low-dose course of hormones?  

Thanks,
Jodi

It sounds like a 6 cm cyst.  They start talking about surgery at around 5 cm but not everyone is thrilled by the idea.  Internal echoes is how the ultrasound waves react and bounce back when targeted at the cyst, and how it reacts means either solid or fluid in nature, simple or complex.  I think internal echoes might mean solid, but cannot be completely sure, so don't take my word for it.  Solid features of cysts are more serious than fluid-filled, so I want to be wrong!

Since it was just discovered, many doctors want to watch and wait for about 2 months.  If a cyst just formed recently, it still could be the type that will go away after one or two ovulation cycles.  If it lingers longer, it could be a cyst that is going to be stubborn and stay with you awhile.  That's when surgery options are discussed a bit more.

The doctor should discuss all this and more with you.
