Re: ULTRASOUND: Ovarian Cyst

Thank you for getting back to me. The reason I ask is because my doctor is out of town until Friday. I guess I just wanted to know if the sizes of the cyst are big , small or normal. If you could what are internal echos in the cyst. I am a teacher so if I have to have something done I want it done ASAp so that I will not miss work. Would you remove cyst this size? Should I not wait to Friday to talk to him and talk to one of his partners sooner??

I just want some idea on what to expect.

I have experienced bleeding for 4 months and I have sever cramps. I feel like my uterus is going to fall out of me. I am on Depo Povera to help with the endometriosis. The Depo was suppose to stop my periods. I have had it in the past and I never have a period on it.
