Ovarian cyst...?!
Question: I had a cat scan and they detected a small ovarian cyst. They didn't give me any medicine for it or anything. They aren't going to check up on it either to see if it went away. Is that normal?

Ovarian cysts are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both ovaries. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs. The term functional means the cyst is not caused by any underlying disease or disorder, and that it will usually resolve (shrink and disappear) on its own in a few weeks.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cyst if it's very small and they did not seem to concerned with it, however I would recommend you go back to your referring doctor or gynaecologist to discuss your concerns with him/her.
I have suffered from numerous bilateral ovarian cysts over the past 9 years and although most of them have resolved on their own, I have had to have surgery for some of them too as they continued to grow and was causing too much pain.
Each woman's own situation is different, so I would really recommend speaking with the doctor that referred you to have the cat scan.
Good luck :)

with all due respect to above respondant, websites can only do so much. Have your primary care physician refer you to a ob/gyn to be sure. It could be something like HPV, which is not too threatening but best detected early like all things, or it could be nothing but it's best to be sure!
