Subserosal fibroid cyst on ovary. Bleeding, nausea. Reports show growth in cyst with less debris. Cyst removal? Cancer?
Patient: 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. Doctor: HelloThanks for your query.A cancerous cyst generally has the following features -Rapid increase in size.Echogenities, calcifications and solid components inside the cystIrregular cyst wallPresence of ascitesPositive markers like CA 125Symptoms like weight loss, abdominal distensionFamily 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.
