Can't find Chocolate cyst after a month suddenly.

Hi, i am 20 nd half yr old and last month was diagnosed with PCOD in my right ovary and 4 cm plus CHOCOLATE CYST in my left ovary during my periods from ultrasound after dealing with all symptoms associated from last 2 yrs. (eg- Hirsutism and lot more)

Now after a month I went for second opinion during my periods and Radiology Doctor could not find my chocolate cyst During my ultrasound. My both ovaries are swollen and bulky in size and they failed to perform 3d ultrasound and are suspecting PCOD. They have called me for 3d ultrasound after 10 days.

But my all issues and pains have increased than before.

I am attaching my latest ultrasound film

Can this happen?

I am really confused that what should i believe and what does this means and not able to figure out what should i do.

I am dealing with this on my own with no support from anyone, so please Any help will be appreciated.

chocolate cysts can burst just like regular cysts, but with a chocolate cyst it then obviously also spreads more endo, so maybe hence more pain. in all my scans, MRI's it would show my ovaries with different cysts each time, some of mine have got to 7 cm before, and then at the next scan they are gone, i can usually tell when they burst, as i get a a few days of pain, sometimes its awful xx

I'm sorry you're dealing with not knowing what's going on. I'm not an expert at reading ultrasounds, but I've had a chocolate cyst that's both grown and shrunk over time, as well as ruptured at one point. So it is possible for cysts to get smaller or go away on their own. I hope when you do have the 3d ultrasound that gives you more information.
