Complex ovarian cyst gynecology referal

Hi everyone, 

After having extremely heavy bleeding and large clotting for the past year I decided enough was enough when severe pain started too. 

My white blood count was high but nothing to be concerned over and my c125 was 12 so that's a good low number.

However I was sent for an external and tv ultrasound and today I got the results.

Complex ovarian cyst on left ovary with septation and irregular borders plus some solid areas. 

This cyst has been with me for years the last scan was 6 years ago and it has grown. I'm now being referred to gynecology. Cancer was mentioned alot but it was down played. Has anyone had a cyst like this and it turned out to be nothing to worry about? I know it will need to be taken out as it's causing alot of problems.

  • Hi

    My journey started approx 5 weeks ago. Irregular bleeding trip to Dr who referred for USS and CA125. My USS confirmed a 6cm complex ovarian cyst with some irregularity and some solid component within. Unfortunately my CA125 came back high (141) so I was put on 2ww to gynae.

    Saw gynae who done a uterine scrape biopsy and a CA19-9, still awaiting for results. I also have a hysteroscopy booked I'm tomorrow and a CT scan ordered - waiting for app day/time. 

    I'm not yet at the point of nothing to worry about as my investigations are still ongoing but mine will be removed regardless of what the results show, the consultant has said they are just getting a full picture to decide how to proceed with removal. 

    Cancer has been mentioned but I feel like you, down played. They seem to be doing a lot of testing but very little communication. 

    I hope yours is OK, I'm very scared now with everything but I will deal with whatever the outcome of all these tests and I will cope.

     

  • Hi both Stockley960 and Indi42,

    Sorry to hear about you both going through worrying times. I hope you are both doing okay now.

    I recognise that your posts were a while ago, however I am currently in the process of going through something very similar. I had a USS/internal and they found a complex cyst with vascular septations and vascular solid component. I’m waiting on a ca125 which I should get tomorrow, but understand this is not always an accurate indicator.

    I was wondering if it would be possible to ask what outcomes/conclusions were drawn following your scans etc please? 
    And do you have any advice for what to ask at the 2ww gynae appointment please?

    thank you
