Ultra Sound

[jacpinetree17]

A few weeks ago I had an ultra sound and vaginal scan due to back pain on left side above the buttock. Doctor said small cyst on left ovary. They will do another scan in 4 months to see if there’s any change. Then another appointment arrived for another ultra sound? The first scan I had to have a full bladder. This next scan I cannot eat/drink anything for 6 hours. I thought I was going back in 4 months not 3 weeks. I hope it’s nothing sinister? I can’t stop worrying. Any advice as to why they have called me back? Thank you. Xxxx

From the NHS website:
"In most cases, the cyst often disappears after a few months. A follow-up ultrasound scan may be used to confirm this.".

So it seems that, at the moment, the doctors are just playing the 'wait and see' game, to find out whether or not the problem will simply disappear of its own accord.

Try not to worry too much, I would be pleased to have a second scan so soon.

I would bet that this scan has nothing to do with your previous scan and is an MRI of your back.

The small cyst on your ovary clearly isn't the cause of your back pain.

Two different scans for two diferent areas.

No big deal.
