A functional ovarian cyst has only fluid in it, they come and go with your menstrual cycle and are completely normal. complex cysts have solid and fluid components in it and can be many different things. occasionally, they will go away on their own also because they may be a normal cyst that just had some bleeding into it – has some clots inside so it looks complex – that is why the second ultrasound to see if it goes away on its own before going to surgery. if it does not go away, yes it should be removed

Complex Ovarian Mass – Endometrioma or Functional Cyst

I was hoping that someone could provide me with some advice. Below are my reports, this has been going on for more than 10 months. I saw one Gynecological Oncologist and she said that the reports show functional cysts (despite having them for 10 months) that will go away by themselves and no treatment is needed. That was last week.

I saw another Gynecological Oncologist this morning for a second opinion and she said that they are Endometrioma. She has scheduled an Trans-vaginal ultrasound for Jamuary 21, and I will get those results from her on February 4, 2009.

I am completely confused. I do not know which one to trust. Worse still – will these continue to grow? What if they are neither? My CA125 was 63. My father died of colon cancer and my paternal Aunt of Breast Cancer.

My first report dated February 8, 2008 states:
Endometrium double layer thickness is just over 7mm.
The uterus is anteverted with overall diameters 37x40x76mms. There
appears to be a fibroid subserosal posterior at the fundus 24x19x14mms.
In the cervix, there is a little cyst 8mms.

The right ovary is 34x28x22mmx. Here we find 2 follicles or a
biloculted cyst with a thick septum, more likely that these represent 2
adjacent follicles.

The septation between the two are little hyper vascular.
The left ovary is 30x30x28mms contains a follicle 13x8mms.
The cul-de-sac is clear and the bladder appear normal.

Report 2 dated Sept 22, 2008:
The uterus measures 7.7×4.8×3.7cm. There is a fibroid at the fundus
measuring 2.2cm. Endometrial lining is 0.4cm. In both
adnexa there are abnormalities. On the left there is a complex
primarily solid but inhomogeneous irregular mass measuring
6.1×4.1×3.7cm. On the right there is one measuring 2.5×2.4×2.3cm.

Should have mentioned that I am 37 years old, have never had kids, and got my period when I was 13. Symptoms: bloating pelvic tenderness, lower back and leg pain, headaches, constant need to urinate (sometimes a lot, sometimes a false call!) and extremely tired. Very heavy and painful menses.

Ovarian cyst

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in or on the ovary. Many ovarian cysts are noncancerous cysts that occur as a result of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary).

These are called functional cysts. Functional cysts normally shrink on their own over time, usually in about 1 to 3 months. Often functional cysts do not cause any symptoms (you may not even know you have one), but other times they can cause abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, nausea and vomiting.

If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may want to check you again in 1 to 3 months to make sure the cyst has gotten smaller. If you develop functional cysts often, your doctor may want you to take birth control pills so you won’t ovulate. If you don’t ovulate, you won’t form functional cysts.
