Complex ovarian cysts10/26/2007 |
I am a 37 year old female. I was seen in the ER about 2 months ago for pelvic pain. They did a pelvic us and was diagnosed with one ovarian cyst on the right and two complex ovarian cysts on the right measuring 5 and 2 cm. The reported stated that the complex cysts may be hemorrhagic in nature. I am not currently insured until Dec 1. I am however concerned because I heard that complex cysts can be cancerous, is this true? Also the symptoms I have are mod pelvic pain at times, frequent urinating (no uti`s) are these symptoms characteristic of ovarian cysts?
The symptoms are typical to both benign and malignant ovarian cysts. At your age, you are at low risk, but it needs to be followed up. Typically, a benign cyst like a hemorrhagic cyst will resolve over time. The typical response would be to repeat the ultrasound in 6 weeks to look for resolution. Waiting until Dec. would be too long. You should look for a local health clinic that can provide care for a lower fee or for free depending on your ability to pay.
