Subserosal Fibroid Cyst On Ovary. Bleeding, Nausea. Reports Show Growth In Cyst With Less Debris. Cyst Removal? Cancer?
Hello, Could you so kindly help me out? I have questions regarding a subserosal fibroid cyst on my ovary. I am post menopausal, have had a small amount of bleeding for two years and now have nausea daily. |The cyst was 7cm three months ago now it is 9cm. The report said there is less "debris" in the middle of the cyst now. What are the indicator/s for cyst removal? What does a cancerous cyst look like? Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
A cancerous cyst generally has the following features -
Rapid increase in size.
Echogenities, calcifications and solid components inside the cyst
Irregular cyst wall
Presence of ascites
Positive markers like CA 125
Symptoms like weight loss, abdominal distension
Family history of cancers.
A cyst more than 5 cm, especially one that has increased in size over time, warrants removal, especially after menopause.
All the best.
