Ovarian cyst

Hey, just looking for advice. Went for a USS last week as been having abdominal bloating. A cyst was found on my ovary. The Lady who carrried out the ultrasound said I need to be seen urgently and the next day my GP called to say I have been referred on the cancer pathway to see a Gynaecologist Oncologist for further investigations. I have had a cyst before but I was just scanned 3 months later and it had gone. Just wondering if something of concern was seen this time hence the referral? As nothing like this happened before.

  • Hello and thank you for posting,

    Unfortunately I don't know what was seen on the ultrasound, and whether it was of concern. But the sonographer (the person who does the ultrasound) will have had reason to want to refer for further investigation.

    Ovarian cysts are common, there are several different types, and some disappear on their own and others don't. The important thing is to be checked out so that they have an answer for your symptoms and more information about the cyst that is there.

    Take care Clarkey, and hopefully you will know more about your situation soon.
