I was told today after getting MRI results that I need to see an oncologist. I always thought that most ovarian cysts and fibroids are not cancer. I have no symptoms, no pain, no bleeding.
Do you think I’ll have to have that godd-awful test called a ‘Hysterosonography?’
the report mentioned that I should go for a transvaginal sonogram for more information.
Typically, ovarian cysts are functional (not disease or cancer related) and occur as a normal process of ovulation. During the days before ovulation, a follicle grows. But at the time of expected ovulation, the follicle fails to break open and release an egg, as it is supposed to. Instead, the fluid within the follicle remains and forms a cyst.
Functional, or physiological, ovarian cysts usually disappear within 8-12 weeks without treatment. They are relatively common, and are more common during a woman’s childbearing years (puberty to menopause). Ovarian cysts are rare after menopause.
Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors (including ovarian cancer) or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovarian disease. Some non-functional ovarian cysts must be treated to go away.
An ovarian cyst can cause pain if it pushes on nearby structures, ruptures or bleeds. Pain may also occur if the cyst is twisted or causes twisting (torsion) of the fallopian tube.
Symptoms of ovarian cysts can include:
* Pelvic pain – constant, dull aching
* Pain with intercourse or pelvic pain during movement
* Pain during bowel movements
* Pelvic pain shortly after beginning or ending a menstrual period
* Abnormal uterine bleeding (change from normal menstrual pattern)
* Longer than usual menstrual cycle
* Shorter than usual menstrual cycle
* Absent menstruation
* Irregular menstruation
* Abdominal bloating or swelling
Often no symptoms are noted and ovarian cysts are found only be routine examinations. Usually birth control pills may be prescribed to help establish normal cycles and decrease the development of functional ovarian cysts.
Simple ovarian cysts that are larger than 5-10 centimetres and complex ovarian cysts that persist should and will usually be surgically removed via laparoscopy (minimal invasive surgery).
I would recommend that you discuss all the details such as the type of cyst, size of cyst etc with your doctor/gyno and ask them to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
I have suffered from many bilateral ovarian cysts over the past 10 years and have had to have surgery 2 times to the cysts removed (it wasn’t anything too serious).
I hope this helps to answer your question. Good luck 
you are right they are usually fibroids and harmless. Most do not need to be removed. But it never hurts to make sure

It depends on the type of cyst. Since they have referred you to an oncologist, you probably do not have a "functional" cyst … the fluid filled kind that usually go away on their own. Oncologists are cancer specialists, so they might suspect that the cyst is hard and are probably sending you there to make sure your cyst is benign. I don’t want to scare you. Doctors usually want to err on the side of caution and want a specialist to look at the cyst… perhaps take a biopsy. I personally have an ovarian cyst that is being watched. I have to have another ultrasound in a month to see if it has gotten bigger, smaller, or is unchanged. If it is bigger, they will need to do surgery. Good luck, hun. I am sure everything will be ok. Usually the surgery is laproscopic so recovery time is short.

they may have seen a something more solid and defined as a mass and that is why they are sending you to an oncologist…who is not typically a surgeon per say they are cancer specialists.
I would be concerned because if it was just to have it removed and it not specious for cancer why not just see a general surgeon? or even a gynecologist they tend to do their own surgeries.?

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Hi there, I identified your webpage via Google although browsing for 1st aid to get a heart attack and your publish seems to be incredibly useful for me.
Far more than anything my husband and I wanted a baby, we had been trying for a year with no achievement. My husband bought each book and program on the marketplace . We had been testing for ovulation everyday and saving up our baby producing time for just when that little stick turned pink. Our next step was infertility treatment, we had been avoiding it simply because our insurance would not cover it and for IVF and every thing that came with it , we were looking at close to $30,000.00. Until we finally discovered something that worked, This is what worked for us and I am proud to tell other people about it read my story here. I hope with all my heart this helps you and like me you too realized the joy of having a child.
It is a good thing for you to have tried car rentals. It’s an alternative to consider if you don’t have a personal car yet. If you are hesitant to borrow from a friend then this would be best option. You can be secure plus you won’t have second thoughts to use it since you are paying good amount of money for it.
I was at a concert last night with a buddy and I was really happy I was there. It was an orchestra concert about musical pieces unfolding life in general. I had so much satisfaction that night that I even recorded some of the numbers that they performed on my video camera.
My partner and I were discussing about our experiences and life in general. It was then when I realized how much devoted to him and how he feels exactly the same way for me. It was then when we decided it’s time for us to get married. I was on my way to visit a pal who is in a coma at the hospital after a car accident. While travelling a couple of miles I was able to think about how important it is to tell your loved ones each single day how much they mean to you and the relevance of life in general.
