After a CT scan and ultrasound which couldn't be positive if there was a mass on my ovary or not, an MRI last week shows what they think to be a 3.2 cm endometrioma or hemorrhagic cyst, but most likely and endometrioma.
I had the test last Thursday, got the results last Friday and then Monday (yesterday) the OBGYN dept called and made me an appt for tomorrow. I thought sure I'd be waiting weeks to get in for an appt but it was immediate. I am wondering if there is a reason why they were so quick about it. From what I've read, a fibroid and endometrioma are most likely benign findings.
The doctor who wrote me a note after reviewing my scan said
"I am seeing your MRI report today. It appears you have a fibroid, which are often not symptomatic except for abnormal bleeding on occasion, and an endometrioma which is a fluid filled cyst on your ovary. I have sent a referral for you to the gynecologists to schedule an evaluation for you. Often the best course of treatment is a laparoscopic removal of the cyst and they will discuss that with you."
So it sounds like surgery could be an option, but I have never had any kind of pain associated with it. Is it something that COULD potentially be cancerous or turn into cancer, especially with me being post-menopausal? Are there other treatments for it?
