Should I Be Worried As I Am Having A Larger And Denser Cyst?

I am 61 years old and have been followed for a cyst on my left ovary for several years through transvaginal ultrasounds. In October, I had a CTscan for another reason which showed the cyst. Last week, I had another CTscan due to pancreatic cancer in my family. They compared Octobers to no and said it was larger and dense. Should I worry

Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cyst. I will suggest that you get this cyst investigated and declared benign before continuing to monitor. Clearly increasing in size and becoming denser is a worrisome and cannot be totally disregarded. Follow up with you your OBGYN, get CA 125 screening and a closer appreciation of this cyst. If it stay unclear about the exact nature, I suggest taking it out and anlyzing in the pathology lab for a tissue diagnosis.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
