Hi,

Hoping for some help/clarificantion. After suffering pelvic pain, I was sent for an US. The techinician said I would be called back for a follow up appointment, as there was a cyst of c.5cm, but not to worry. They would send the diagnosis to my GP who would be in touch.

The following week the GP reception called to say my GP was on holiday for a few weeks and left a note saying I had a Simple Ovarian Cyst of 5cm, but it was borderline. I took that to mean that as it was only 5cm, it was borderline as to whether or not it was worth following up with another US. Didn't realise at the time that there was such a thing as a 'borderline cyst'.

As my GP is not back for another week, does anyone know if you can have a simple borderline cyst? Looking online, they tend to be complex. Also, if it were borderline, wouldn't I have been referred straight to a gyno rather than another scan in 6-8wks? So the GP might have just used a poor choice of words...?

Google is both a blessing and a curse at times like this!

Thanks
