Hemorrhagic cyst on ovary
Posted , 2 users are following.
im 42 and recently went for an ultrasound scan that showed a hemorraghic cyst on the ovary. well thats what the sonographer thinks it is she wrote it with a question mark in front of it. anyway the descrption of the cyst says its cystic and solid components. the sonographer recommemded another ultrasound in 6-8weeks and also referral to gynaecology team as part of protocol. now my gp suggested advice from the gyne team and they suggested an appointment will be sent, but meanwhile have a blood test done ca125 and a repeat ultrasound in 4 months. i suffer from severe and i mean severe cancer anxiety. why on earth have they requested the ca125! has anyone been through the same issue or any reassuring suggestions please

I am so sorry you’re having this anxiety. But I think. the Ca 125 is part of a protocol that they do on everybody when they find a cyst. it’s a general screening just like when somebody has a polyp in the intestine, they always test it to see if it’s benign or not. It’s basically that they don’t know so they do the tests.. they automatically test moles removed from somebody’s skin . There’s so many situations where this is done automatically. Plus remember, the doctors always want to cover themselves so they do these tests. say a doctor did not test a polyp in the intestine for cancer, and it was actually cancer, then the doctor and the hospital could be sued.
Some doctors go overboard with testing, so doing a blood test for you and a follow up ultrasound is not too much. its standard.
try to keep yourself busy so you don’t overthink things. Remember our thoughts can sometimes be our worst enemy. Any negative thoughts you can let go of and they are not reality. They are just based on fear. Remember that! I do hope you can relax a little bit. take care❤
