Can polyp cyst in the right ovary, if not removed, turn cancerous?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Can polyps or cysts in the right ovary, if not removed, convert into cancer? The size of the follicular cyst is 25 mm, and 24 mm when noted. What should I do?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Actually, polyps and cysts are different things. The cyst will not convert into any concern or abnormal growth. But a polyp is an abnormal growth of tissue that can be benign, which is not harmful. You have a polyp in the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus. And it is not confirmed whether it is poly.
You can go for further testing, which includes a biopsy. They will take a small part of it and send it for diagnosis. Then only will it be clear whether it is due to infection or any other reason? Can you please tell me what symptoms you have? Do you get irregular periods? Do you get heavy bleeding during periods? How many kids do you have?
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had light spotting for ten days, then, went to the doctor. She examined and gave a tablet to stop spotting. Two days later, I did not have spots. Later, I went for the pelvic scan they were not able to find the cysts. They did internal scanning and came to know a follicular polyp cyst, and they told me it has to be removed by some process, and they said it would not be cured by tablets. So I am fearful of doing that. Is it necessary to do that? Or shall I leave it like that itself? Now I do not have any spotting or anything else.
Please help.
Thank you.

The doctor has suggested diagnostic D and C (dilation and curettage) of the uterus under IV (intravenous) radiation. It is the same small producer where they will take the poly out and send it for testing. It is better to do it because later on, they might spread and cause further complications, such as more bleeding or pain. It is a simple procedure, and you can easily do it will be better if you go for it.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
