In reply to: Lucas 's message, "anechoic cyst" on Thursday, April 27, 04:02:30pm

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.

My 18 year old daughter is in hospital in Thailand (I am in UK) with what seems to be this exact problem, waiting to see if it eases or gets worse.Doctor suggesting surgery may be necessary. Follow up to this post re . quote. 'pain increase''more on this later' not yet appeared? If ovarian cyst gets larger(now 5.9cmx3.3)is surgery is necessary? Can be done with hysteroscopy?

Forgot to say; up to now she has only had a sonograrm transvaginal scan (ultra scan?) Should I insist that a CT Scan be done also before any decision is made?
