Subject: anechoic cyst Author: Lucas [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Thursday, April 27, 04:02:30pm Author Host/IP: 58.6.117.234 Hi, my girlfriend was told that she has an anechoic cyst on her right ovary (4cm dia.). She has had scans, seen the doc who has referred her to a gyno. It gives her a fair amount of pain just lately and discomfort. Can anyone tell me much about this condition and how concering it is? thanks Lucas [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: anechoic cyst Author: Kendra H [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, April 28, 05:11:59am Author Host/IP: 68.73.152.62 Hi Lucas, the term "anechoic" refers to how it appears on an ultrasound; all you can see from the scan is the outer edge. these cysts are typically simple cysts, fluid filled with one compartment, and many resolve on their own. in fact, a lot of them ovvur because of a normal menstrual cycle during ovulation. that said, that cyst is getting a bit large and if its causing pain, needs to definately be watched a bit. has the doctor suggested any treatment measures or follow up for your girlfriend? typical course of action is follow up the following month unless pain increases (more on this later) and/or a suggestion of birth control pills, unless she is already taking them or this is a recurring problem. please watch for increased pain experienced by your girlfriend, and if things seem to be much worse or extreme, seek immediate medical attention for her. hopefully it will not come to that, but keep an eye out. i hope that you both get some relief from this soon. if you need anything, please post and let us know.
