A little help, please?

[overdiagnosed]

I am twenty years YOUNG and was just diagnosed this past weekend with a "hemorrhagic follicular cyst" measuring at 53 x 51 x 47 mm. This is the first time I have ever had confirmation of such an issue, however I do believe I have had recurring problems with it just by the line up of symptoms I have had over the past five years.

What I am anxious to know is whether or not the size is small or large? Because regardless of what I have been hearing from others reading online and gaining through all the other resources available is that it doesn't hurt that bad. I however am experience an increase of pain as the days, nay, hours go by that is keeping me from work. I am not considered by any means intolerant of pain, but am wondering why the pain is worsening?

Also, I was diagnosed in the ER room and when I left they suggested I follow up with either my GP or OB/GYN in two days. Would this be a waste of time, or beneficial?

Thank you all in advance for your help, advice and assistance to someone who is all too eager to reclaim her sleep and get back to work!!!!

Thank you! I actually scheduled an appointment first thing this morning! Thankfully I already have my own OBGYN so I got in next week. Unfortunately it's a PA, but they know a boatload more of information than I so either way its a win win.

Yes, you do need a follow-up.  If that cyst ruptures may cause you a lot of problems and I have never seen a cyst rupture that is not extremely painful.  OBGYN would be your best bet because if it needs to be fixed, they are it.  Saves you a co-pay to just be referred to an OBGYN.  Goodluck.
