Re: ovarian cystsFrom: Dan Logen (pdl@whidbey.net)Mon Aug 9 22:48:06 1999
To answer your question, yes, it is possible to aspirate ovarian cysts transvaginally. It is well tolerated and fairly low risk. No anesthesia other than local is needed. It can be useful if someone has a large presumed functional cyst which is symptomatic. Pain will go away more quickly if aspirated, as compared to waiting for it to resolve on its own. On the other hand, if minimally symptomatic, I agree with the others that waiting for spontaneous resolution, and using prophylactic OCPs, makes sense. If the cyst has any solid portions or septations, she is not a candidate for transvaginal drainage. ---------- > From: Freda Seddon <fseddon@interlog.com> > New case, 44 yr old with history of ovarian cysts,20 yrs ago one > laparotomy, 2 yrs ago one laparaoscopy for bilat cysts.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
