Post menopausal ovarisn cyst
Probably five years ago or longer,I had a ct scan for something else and discovered a cyst 3mm I went thru several follow up c125 and ultrasounds, nothing changed.
I then went to another gyn associated with a large hospital and old her about my cyst. Her response was she asked the radiologist at Baptist and he said I was too old for an ovarian cyst. I told her I knew better.
So here I decided to go to another gyn and told her when I had my pap. She did that ca125 which was normal and ultrasound and it hadn't grown if it did it was less then one fourth inch in five years.
This gyn said in three months we will repeat the test. I don't know if they keep doing these same test over five years for the money or this old cyst can still turn to cancer . If I can why didn't hey just remove it five years ago instead of this wait and see game I am tired of doing.
You think it has to do with insurance, it's not like I need this ovary Imam over 60.
Please your opinions would be appreciated

HI,
A small ovarian cyst without the risk of cancer only needs to be followed up. As long as it is not growing and CA125 levels are normal, there should be no reason to worry. Regular follow up is necessary at your age for the risk of cancer. If you are fed up with the follow up then laparoscopic removal of the cyst can be done. You may discuss with your Doctor.
Hope this helps.
