Suggest Treatment For A Cyst On The Ovary

I have a cyst on each ovary,First two internal ultrasounds showed very small and dr said they didn t have the look of cancer . 3 months later , last week , had another internal ultrasound and tech said they grew and were now 1 inch each ! That is a short time for them to grow so much , but dr said all is fine. I am 58 female , no children, never took the PILL , used condoms , overweight and adopted. Recently met birth mother who is 14 yrs older than me and she recently thought she had UTI but 2 days later she was on the table for uterine cancer . that is all I know for med history but very concerned about how fast the cyst grew in 3 months . g

Hi I think if you are worried about ovarian cancer, you should get a CA125 level done. It will give you an indication of the nature of ovarian cyst. If it is high, there are chances of cancer. But size of 1 inch is not very big. Generally cysts of more than 5 cm are concerning for a woman.Hope it helps.
