Cyst On Ovary

[islasmum]

While I was having an ultrasound for something completely different last week, the radiologist picked up that I had a cyst on my ovary. My doctor has referred me to a gynaecologist and I have an appointment for next Monday. What will they do ? Do you have to have an internal examination? I've looked this up online and it seems to be a fairly common condition, so I hope that someone out there in AB land can give me some advice. Thanks very much.

He will take a history (ask you some questions)

Examine you externally and vaginally.

Take a blood test.

Discus with you the possibility of coming into hospital as a day case for minimally invasive internal examination (laparoscopy)

Thanks Sqad, that doesn't sound too bad.
