Ovarian cyst

Hi Ladies
I am 56 and recently had postmenopausal bleeding after nearly 2 years, I was referred and was contacted promptly and offered an appointment - I had a scan earlier today.
The period i had was like a normal period, with bad PMT, sore boobs, bloating. After the scan today I was told that i have as cyst on my left ovary about 3mm (or 3cms) cannot remember as was in panic mode, drying throat, palpitations when both the nurses were looking quite intently at the scan!! They said that they thought the bleed was hormonal. Everything else was normal. (womb thickness etc) If i had not had this period i would not have known that the cyst was there.
I think i now have to have a blood test to rule out cancer, i am absolutely terrified and wondered if this has happened to anyone else on here, if they could offer any re-assurance? I have no symptoms.

Hi Corinne,
Sorry to hear that you are suffering, wow they should have offered you HRT for sure 100% My experience with the whole peri/menopause thing has been awful. They just aren't on it at all.
I didn't think at 56 i would still be wading through it!! I wasn't offered if at peri, or later when i went to my GP regarding menopausal issues, and i have been blighted with the most awful pmt for over 40 years!

Hi 😃
I have been postmenopausal for about just under 2 years, with no spotting or bleeding. Re the cyst diagnosis, i don't have any symptoms with that, the only thing i do have off and on are haemorrhoids which are compiled by stress, so they are not good now. I went to the GP last year and it was confirmed i had them together with fissures, (caused by pregnancy at 38) which i think i need to sort out at some point as they keep flaring up.
Im waiting to hear about the cyst, i think notification to contact my GP and arrange a blood test. CA125? Its 3cms on my left ovary. Im confused as when i went to the transvaginal ultrasound, i mentioned the period, being just like a period, with giant mood swings, and flying off the handle every two minutes, sore boobs, cramps, bloating lasting the normal 3/4 days. I have been pretty awful to be around for the past month. PMT started around beginning of July for me and i had bleeding around 22nd July.
After finding cyst they said that the period may have just been hormonal, i don't know what this means, as when i looked on NHS site it says that a postmenopausal cyst, can cause intense sore boobs (which i had) and bleeding, i also have fibroids, which can bleed but this was not mentioned as a cause.
Im thinking the cyst and this period are related? - this is driving me mad, waiting for answers i had the ultrasound on Monday 2nd August. So its now just the waiting game.
