What could be done to manage a complex cyst in the ovary?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

A complex ovarian cyst means it has both solid and liquid components. For younger women, it is often a dermoid cyst, which can be treated with surgery. In older women, more tests are needed to rule out ovarian cancer.

Your ultrasound did not show signs that would raise cancer concerns, like internal flow or fluid in the abdomen. So, your cyst is most likely not cancerous. To narrow down the cause, it would help to know your age, when you last had your period, and if you experience severe pain around your period.

I hope you got an answer.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back toicliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Since you are perimenopausal, further investigation is needed as your ovaries are less active compared to younger women. You should have a CA-125 (cancer antigen 125) level test.

If the CA-125 level is low or normal, regular monitoring with ultrasound scans and CA-125 testing is recommended. If the cyst becomes larger, painful, or shows signs of cancer, surgery may be needed. If the CA-125 is high, surgery should be performed immediately.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
