Not a cyst-cyst? What does it mean?

Question

I had a scan of my ovaries and the nurse who did the scan found something wrong with one of them, but is not allowed to give a diagnosis, so I have to wait for an appointment with the doctor. When I asked her if it looked like a cyst, she said: "No, it is not really a cyst-cyst." What might it be? I hate waiting for appointments.

Answer 1

A Nurse or Tech is not allowed to share information with a patient. But is sounds like it might "look" like a cyst, but is not an obvious cyst.

Some times it takes a biopsy to identify exactly what it going on.

Been there, done that, way toooo many times.

Be patient. A cyst can be blood filled, my DR. called mine chocolate cysts (from the color of old blood) and fluid filled cysts. Mine were related to Endometriosis.

My daughter had one burst in July or August and spent 18 hours in the emergency room and $12,000.00 only to learn that a cyst had burst and released fluid into her abdominal cavity. She has been perfectly fine every since.

Google "Ovarian cysts" you can get all of the information you need. Generally the worry is far worse than the condition.

Try taking Ibuprofen per bottle suggestions for a couple of weeks. It will improve the inflammation and might reduce it.

Good Luck and don't worry too much.

Looks as thought you may have a Dermiod cyst, Dermoid cysts are benign tumors that contain nails, teeth, bone, hair, cartilage, and/or other tissues, and can be filled with a fatty substance. They vary in size and location, generally appearing on an ovary, i have had a dermiod cyst on my right ovary for 5 years, it has never changed its about 2.5cm, because this cyst causes no problems the doctors leave it, good luck at your appointment let me know how u get on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Answer 3

I have one and I was able to get pregnant no problem. An ovarian cyst does not usually affect a woman's ability to conceive The only condition in which ovarian cysts are linked with difficulty in conceiving is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women who have it tend to be overweight, have excessive hair growth and suffer from irregular or inon-existant periods. No single test can diagnose the syndrome, but blood tests for hormone levels and an ultrasound scan are helpful.

Answer 4

relax. if u re before your period it can be yellow body in your ovaries or tubes. it will dissolve after u have period or get pregnant. it occurs every month. so they re supposed to check everything, so doctor will probably give u another appointment for ultrasound check after a week or 2. but of course it also can be out of womb pregnancy - it can occure everywhere - in tubes or ovaries. but it causes some bleeding and pain. if u have no pain and bleeding relax once more

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/90fxU
