Ovarian cyst

I have a query about ovarian cyst pain. Last year I found out I had stage 3a serious borderline tumour that was particularly large which resulted in quite major surgery. Thankfully my consultant was able to keep one ovary as I would like to start a family. I had been having regular follow ups with my consultant and I have another small cyst on my ovary. I've been having a bit of pain where my ovary is and I'm not sure if it's the cyst causing it, maybe it's gotten bigger. With covid 19 everything has presumably been put on hold but I'm not sure if I should contact someone about it as I've just started the last week to get pain.

many thanks Ashley

  • Hello Ashley

    I'm sorry to hear that you had some treatment for an ovarian cyst last year. It's good to know that you're having some followup with the Consultant. 

    Despite Covid19 many hospital services are still running, albeit a little differently so please do get in touch with your Consultant, or your GP, about the pain that you are experiencing. They will be able to offer you some reassurance or arrange to see you if necessary. 

    Best wishes,
