Generally speaking if you do have Ovarian Cysts they will be found during a routine pelvic examination. An ultrasound may then be carried out to determine shape, size, location and whether the cyst is fluid filled, solid or a mixture of both.
A blood test will be carried out to find out if the Ovarian Cyst is cancerous. This test is recommended for women over the age of 35 and whose cyst has been found to be partially solid. Under 35′s are less likely to have ovarian cancer.
It is wise to remember that Ovarian Cysts can not be prevented and the treatment generally involves waiting for around 1-3 menstrual periods to occur and then a re-examination of the cyst to determine if anything has changed.
My advice would always be to not put off that pelvic exam as wonderful as they are as your health should be one of your top priorities.
Wishing you Good Health!
