Left Adnexa Cyst. Should I Be Concerned?
Question: how concerned should I be over a 7.4 cyst to the left adnexa
Brief Answer:
Needs further tests and regular monitoring.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The finding of an ovarian cyst causes considerable anxiety to women because of the fear of malignancy, but the vast majority are benign.
Premenopausal women with asymptomatic simple cysts smaller than 8 cm on ultrasound in whom the CA125 is within the normal range may be followed with a repeat ultrasound examination at 8-12 weeks.
If I were to be your treating doctor, I would suggest the following tests:
1) Serum CA-125 Levels
2) MRI of pelvis to see contents of cyst and density.
Persistent simple ovarian cysts larger than 5 cm and complex ovarian cysts should be removed surgically.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
