Ovarian cyst

Had persistent bloating and abdominal pain for couple of months, then lower back pain. Dr gave me examination and couldn't feel a mass but said they wanted full bloods including CA125 done and they'd also refer me for pelvic ultrasound. Results showed CA125 level of 40 and they said they'd speed the scan up. 9 days later I had scan and also a TVscan too. 4 days later GP phoned to say I have a cyst on my right ovary. They want me to have scans again in about a months time and said they'll also repeat CA125 test. If it hasn't reduced in size or gone, I'll be referred to gynaecologist. Should I be worried?

  • Hello- found your post, so I have had pelvic pain left side for over a year now used to come & go but now it's constantly, change in bowel habits too,  had internal done and it showed a cyst I am booked in for a laparoscopy on Tuesday, haven't had no bloods done, so I am hoping all is well, from initial referral to op date has taken 6months.

    has your gynaecologist not suggested a laparoscopy? 

  • Hi, I haven't actually seen a gynaecologist yet. Need to have repeat of scans and blood test in about a month, then I'll be referred if necessary.

    Are you actually having your cyst removed on Tuesday? Hope it goes well for you
