Question: I am 31 years old, not on birth control, not pregnant, and had a sudden change in my period the past 3 months. It went from 5 heavy days to 3 VERY light days. Around the same time I would develop a slight burning sensation in my pelvic region which has since disappeared but now my right ovary hurts almost constantly along with lower back pain. If I move a certain way it feels like it is about to pop... strange I know. I also started getting horrible cramps during my period. I had a transvaginal ultrasound last month which showed a 2.3 cm Mildly complex cyst with septations and low internal echos. My PCP sent me to my gynecologist, which I saw yesterday, and after she reviewed the ultrasound she said she was certain it was a Corpus Luteum Cyst and would go away on its own in a few weeks. My question is.... I have had symptoms for 3 months with no resolve and the ovary and back pain is increasing instead of getting better. If what she says is true, shouldn't my symptoms be resolved after 3 months? Is this a tumor instead of a functional cyst? Thanks!

I am not sure how to upload the actual report but I was able to copy and paste it into this follow-up area. Thank you in advance!
