QUESTION:
How is a uterine/ovarian cyst/fibroid diagnosed?
Hi guys! I was just wondering, how does a Dr check for a uterine/ovarian cyst/fibroid? Does he/she perform an ultrasound on you, similar to the one done on pregnant women?
Afterwards, what treatment options are available? Can a woman have sex/children afterwards?
Thank you so much for your help!!

ANSWER:
If they’re big enough, the doc can feel it during an exam. Then the doc will order an ultrasound and can see it on the ultrasound. For ovarian cysts, the doc will usually do an internal ultrasound–the ultrasound wand is put in your vagina. It’s easier to see small things that way. But for something large, then the doc will do an external ultrasound (on your belly) like they do for pregnant women.For ovarian cysts, there are 3 things possible to do:
1) nothing–wait and see if it goes away on its own
2) birth control pills–see if they make it go away
3) surgery to remove the cystSometimes cysts interfere with pregnancy, sometimes not. Depends on the type of cyst. Sometimes when removing the cyst, the ovary must be removed too. But you can be fertile with just one ovary.
For uterine fibroids, there are several possibilities. They will never go away on their own.
1) uterine artery embolization (UAE)–a relatively new procedure to non-surgically shrink the fibroid so it goes away, via blocking the artery supplying it with blood.
2) surgery to remove the fibroid only–called myomectomy
3) hysterectomy
With UAE, you can remain fertile. With hysterectomy, you won’t be fertile anymore. And having a fibroid can interfere with carrying pregnancy.

QUESTION:
Uterine Fibroid Cyst?
I had a vaginal ultra sound due to a completely unrelated issue, and they found a small cyst (7mm) now the doctor sd it was small and shouldn’t cause any problems. Now I am having the worst pain on my period I have EVER had and it will not go away. Not even the Oxycondone I am on for another issue makes the pain go away! And it is so heavy I go trough a Super plus tampon and heavy pad in about 1-3hours…this is not normal for me. I am wondering if I should go back to the doctor and if the cyst could be the problem….-
ANSWER:
I’m going through the same type of problem. Mine is 1.5 mm, my doctor told me that my cyst couldn’t be causing my pelvic pain, I’m not so sure tho…but she did say that with these cysts it is normal to have freakishly heavy and painful periods as I did. She is thinking about starting me on birth control and then in 3-6 months discontinuing, she said that it could possibly help some of the symptoms and stuff. I’m planning on following up with my primary physician about this matter. Don’t know if this is any help or not. Hope so.

QUESTION:
How urgently do I need to get ultrasound for cysts and fibroid tumors?
My first post-partum period finally came and I was having to change a super tampon and pad every 45 minutes, so they made me go the ER. I wasn’t anemic and they couldn’t find a cause, so they said I need to get the ultrasound to rule out ovarian cysts or uterine fibroid tumors. My OB from my pregnancy called me and said to just make the appointment with her, but her first availability isn’t until 8/25. I am still bleeding very heavily, though not as bad as two days ago. Do I need to be seen sooner or is it OK to wait that long?
I wouldn’t trust them on the urgent situation. They told me the bleeding was urgent and then bounced me around three appointments before telling me to go to the ER. Then at the ER, I was laying there two hours before they even checked anything other than my blood pressure and temp.-
ANSWER:
Tell your OB your concerns and ask her if it’s okay to wait or should you find someone you can see sooner. You realize that 8/25 is only a little over a week away?
