I was recently diagnosed withed a Hypoechoic Cyst on my right Ovary. It is 1.16 inches diameter. I have to go to my ob/gyn on 11-21-13. Can you help me figure out what kind of Hypoechoic Cyst or other Cyst I have. Thank You.
Cysts are very common and most of them do go away on their own with time. Did your doctor indicate if it was simple (fluid filled) or complex (solid parts)? A cyst under 5cm is usually monitored regularly to be sure it is not growing or changing. Cysts that are complex and over 5cm have a greater chance of being malignant. Doctors usually recommend removing them surgically when they reach 5cm or larger. Try not to worry though. Most cysts do turn out to be benign (even complex large ones). Your doctor will take into account your symptoms, age and medical history when deciding your follow-up plan. I hope your cyst resolves soon. The wait in the meantime can be stressful.
