Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Would you mind uploading the scan report ?
Just ' cystic area in my uterus ' could mean one of a number of things.
IN order to provide you with a specific and more informative answer, I would like to go through the said report.
Also, was the scan done for the pain in the belly that you mention ?
Since how long have you had this pain and swelling ?
Are you post menopausal ?
Do you have any bowel issues ?
Any fever , vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation etc ?
Any issues with your uterus / ovaries in the past ?
When was the last Pap smear done ?
To assure you, cancer is not the first possibility with such a report in absence of any symptoms.
However, I would be able to comment better once I have your report at hand.
Looking forward to hearing from you with the requested details
Take care.
