Understanding Fibroids & Ovarian Cysts: What to Expect Next

Question
What's gonna happen now after being told that I have 2 fibroids(2cm)and 1 ovarian cyst?
Whats gonna happen now? I'm very worried, the doctor says that first we're gonna be watching the cyst then we'll handle the fibroids.
I gotta go in 2 weeks to see if after my period the cyst goes away, he says it's filled with fluid. I don't want a Hysterectomy cause I want to have children.


Answer
dolores;

if your fibroids dont cause symptoms,your doctor may suggest a wait-and-see approach. you may need regular follow-ups visits and,possibley,ultra-sound exams to monitor the size of the fibroids.

if you do develop symptoms,your doctor may recommend medication or surgery;

ovarian cyst-most of these cysts go away without treatemnt. watchful waiting,including regular monitoring with ultra-sound,is a treatment option if a cyst is fluid-filled and less than 2inches in diameter. your doctor will likely recommend that you get follow-up pelvic ultra-sounds at periodic intervals to see if the cyst has changed size;

i hope all of this info helps;
