Ovarian Cyst

Hi there, I am new to this but feeling a bit confused I am post menopausal 2 years and development an ovarian cyst a year ago.  I went for a recent rescan and now have a cyst on both ovaries but the right one looked suspicious so I was sent for a fast track gynaecologist referral.  Went yesterday and he said it is filled with blood and did an examination (I am now in pain down to my foot!) he really didn't seem sure and said it needs to go to a team of oncologists to discuss but thinks it will probably be another rescan in 3 months.  I am in pain and told him this but he just said you shouldn't be as the cysts are small, feeling a bit unsure can anyway give some advice or had a similar experience? Thanks so much xx

  • Hello sleepyhead, 

    I am sorry to hear that you are in pain after having had this examination. If the pain doesn't settle down over the weekend, I think it would be worth giving your GP a call and explaining that you are in a lot of pain. If it does get unbearable over the weekend, then I would consider ringing 111 for advice. 

    I hope that you will also hear from other ladies here who have had a similar type of experience with ovarian cysts and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you

    Best wishes,
