first gynaecology appointment re complex ovarian cyst what to expect?

My Gp had already sent me for a diagnostic ultrasound so when I saw the consultant he had that already, but still did a short ultrasound himself, at the time and confirmed the need for surgery.I was also referred for a CT scan of pelvis and abdomen. My Gp had already done this after the ultrasound so I didn't have to wait for the consultant to do it and it was a week later.  The consultant scheduled surgery as soon as he had the CT. my appointment was much like any other I had, just remember to ask any questions you have, even write them down before. 

Hi i was sent for CT scan then gynae specialists looked at scan mine's is complex cyst on left ovary and they also discovered one on right ovary they said there is nothing sinister but I am 54 and due to still having heavy periods im having a hysterectomy in January so dont worry about further investigation its normal xx

I had an ultrasound which was totally painless and was also referred for a CT scan a week later. It showed the size of my cyst and also that I had clots on my lungs due to the pressure the cyst was placing on my blood vessels running down my back. The pressure also made my left leg swell to twice its normal size which terrified me.

I had the cyst removed along with a TAH on 27 November. My legs are back to normal now and I have just been told there was no cancer present on the cyst material which was a fluid one - he drained 5.5 litres.

Try not to worry, none of the tests I got were bad, the womb biopsy was a bit sore but I got a local anaesthetic which helped. I hope you got on alright today tar and you have a date for surgery. You will feel so much better without the thing trust me!! xx

thank you everyone for your comments! are you all based in the UK? my appointment was at East Surrey hospital and it went quite well. Saw a nice lady consultant, she did an ultrasound, swab of my cervix, asked me some questions about my medical / gyn history and she said she's not worried as there isn't any vascularity and it looks like my mass/zyst has shrunk a little, from 48mm to 38mm. She also said my ovary looks enlarged so she thinks I may have an infection. So everything fairly positive. I was given augmentin to take for a week and she did some blood tests for hcg, alpha fetoprotein and testosterone levels I'm back there for another ultrasound in a month's time.
