septated ovarian cyst

[RichelleSonrisa]

I had an u/s last week and was told I have a 5cm septated ovarian cyst on my left ovary. I have had 3 cysts in the last 6 months. They did a laproscopy in May and just found another cyst. From what I understand all these cysts were smaller and all but one burst on their own. I also just finished my last period and it was longer and much heavier than normal. I had to go into the hospital b/c I was bleeding extremely heavy. My doctor did the u/s b/c of the bleeding and found this cyst. My doctor wants to do another u/s in 2 months unless I have heavy bleeding this next period or severe abdominal pain, then he will do the u/s sooner. He is concerned of cancer. Is that jumping the gun? I read that 95% of cysts are benign but what about the % of septated cysts. The reading I have done online linked my kind of cysts with cancer. I am just trying to get an idea of what we are looking at...surgery, hysterectomy..etc. Thanks for you help! Also today I have been experiencing pressure in my abdomin as well as lower back pain. It is uncomfortable to sit or stand. When I lay down I can't find any position that isn't uncomfortable. I am wondering if this is related to the cyst.

there is a blood test called CA125 have you had that?

If your Dr is concerned about cancer can he do something sooner? What about a biopsy on the cysts? This would give you peace of mind instead of waiting 2 months.
Having a hysterectomy is a major surgery and it's for life.
If I were you I would ask the Dr to do something now and not wait two months. The pain your going through sounds horrible.
Please keep us up to date on how things are going. Take care. Remar
