Hi,

I just wanted some advice and reassurance. I'm 40 years old, I've had free fluid in the pouch of Douglas in previous ultrasound scans dating two years back. I had another ultrasound recently and they found a simple cyst on left ovary, which I've never had previously and also free fluid again in the pouch of Douglas.

I had an ultrasound because I was getting pain during intercourse and also when I go for a poo and wee.

I've googled, and I shouldn't have, but all sorts of horrible scenarios are running through my mind. My GP has sent me a message saying I have been referred for a routine gynaecology appointment. my min keeps going to cancer and that it's been there for over two years and they didn't pick it up.

    Hi

    I am 38 and today i had a private pelvic scan, i also have a simple cyst but on my right ovary, the girl doing my scan said its nothing to worry about and they normally shrink after a few monthly cycles, she even said they don't normally re scan to check them as most clear by them selves, hope this helps you put your mind at ease.
