I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago he left one ovary. I recently had a gynecological exam and he found multiple complex cyst on my left ovary the report reads the left ovary is enlarged and measures 5.2 by 3.0 centimeters there are multiple complex cyst in left ovary measuring from 1.5 cm up to 2.9 centimeters some of these have trabeculation and septation within them the maximum thickness of the SEPTA is 3 millimeters there is also small to moderate degree of debris in all of these cysts. walls of the cysts measure n from 1 millimeters to 3 millimeters. On color Doppler examination only mild vascularity of the walls.
I had an fsh test and a roma test which is the CA 125. The hospital said it could take a couple weeks to get the roma test back. I also have another ultrasound sound scheduled for Oct 12 and an appointment with my gyno the 18th . But I am stressing. Everything I've read leans toward ovarian cancer. Especially if the walls are thick which mine are. I'm 44 years old I've got back pain and problems with my bladder also gastrointestinal problems which I eat been told is IBS. Any one else out there have any experience with this?

The important bit I can see here is the vascularity.
I cannot see an INTERNAL (inside cyst) vascularity, no increased vascularity, which is great.
Benign cysts, especially those hemorrhagic cysts (blood filled, corpus luteum gone bloody), have in Doppler a vascularity ring, but not inside since it is a blood clot, no blood vessel.
Tumors need blood supply, they build their own blood vessels and would show up inside of a cyst.
Fibromas (benign tumors) show little vascularisation.
Some benign tumors and cancer show increased vascularistion.
It's all speculation at this point and I hope the best for you.
All I can say from my tiny experience is, that this result is wether bad nor good only.
There are a lot of possible outcomes in it
but that the doppler showed only mild vascularity of walls and nothing internal, I would say was a good sign. Then again results vary.
May I just mention that CA125 can be high in inflammatory cases, too. So if that one came back positive, it must not mean a 100% cancer diagnose. Please brace yourself. You will get earlier removal treatment, but you will only get peace of mind once it is gone.
Septas are also in hemorrhagic cysts, it's really hard to interpret what it could be.
I am past dermoid cyst and had pre-diagnosis from normal functional cyst to cancer. Duh. Histology (also marcoscopically look) confirmed a benign tumor = dermoid, so wether a functional cyst nor cancer.
Hang in there please. It's hard to wait, but you are 'cought', not overlooked, which is the best no matter what the complex cysts is.
You are monitored and will get treated!
All the best!

This is a good study and shows how similar and how different one and the same or different issues can look like re ovary cysts.
