small ovarian cyst
I am 70 yrs old, recently had a vaginal ultrasound because of occasional light spotting. The ultrasound revealed a small cyst that my GYN says she wants to watch for changes with another ultrasound in 3 months. Should I be worried? I have no immediate family with breast or ovarian cancer, except for a first cousin on my father's side.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thanks lot12, I know ovarian cysts are common and almost always benign; I had them when I was pre-menopausal, but now I am more concerned because of my age.
Dont wory its normal to have cyst. She's doing the wait and see for 3 months because the cyst is not too big and it might resolve itself within 3cycles...
Almost all of ovarian cyst are benign
did she tell you if its a simple or complex cyst?
I think you will be ok so dont worry about it

Thank you so much for responding so quickly to my query. I kind of expected my GYN would NOT have me wait 3 months if she thought it was an emergency, but I'm glad of the reassurance anyway. I was too flustered to even ask for more information, such as size and type of cyst. I think I'll give her a call to find out and read the information in the link you provided.
Thanks again

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
From skin changes to weight loss to unusual bleeding, here are 15 cancer warning signs that women tend to ignore.
Only the last one would be any cause for great concern and usually surgery would be sheduled immediately if you had one of these as they have the greatest chance of turning cancerous.
The fact that they have ask you to wait three months shows they are not overly worried about it. They are really only checking to see if if goes away or grows bigger.
Try not to worry too much but if you do experience a really bad pain before the three months is up it may have ruptured and you should go back and get it checked out and not wait.
Hope this helps .
