	Asked by Unregistered ; 5174 ) on Wed 02, Apr 2008 07:39am
	i was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst on my right ovary a little over 3 years ago. i was 6 months pregnant at the time. the doctor said it would go away once my baby was born then never retested once he was born. i have been having all of the symptoms of having problems with this still.do i need to be so worried about it being ovarian cancer?

	Answer by Dr Heinrik M, MD (doctor) on Thu 03, Apr 2008 12:11pm: Hi, Ovarian cysts are pretty common, since you had it during a child-bearing age, then the odds of cancer would be small. What is unclear would be the symptoms you mentioned that are still present. If this is regarding pain (especially if your doctor sees no clear reason for this), then this may be enough reason to perform diagnostic testing. The simplest testing may be a repeat sonogram. From what you've posted - there are no alarming features that should make the testing focused primarily on investigating the possibility of cancer. You may want to find out your baseline risk for ovarian cancer per se. You could check out this link to help you estimate the risk. http://www.yourdiseaserisk.siteman.wustl.edu/hccpquiz.pl?lang=english&func=start&quiz=ovarian Based on this, you could discuss about screening options. Bear in mind though that screening is not routinely recommended as the appropriate strategy has not been clearly defined. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
