My daughter age 17 has no symptoms. Family doctor, camp checkup, found cyst in abdomen Wed Jun 20. had x-ray in lab, then ultrasound at University Hosp LHSC, shows size 24 cm x 10 cm in London, Ontario Canada (thats 10 inches x 4 in). First said urgent, no sports, no camp, stay in town, likely surgery. Now waiting to see gynecologist, family doctor says not that urgent??? This girl loves her sports, booked for kayak week early in September, now lying on sofa doing nothing. Cant it cause other problems being this big? How urgent is this?
Hi there, I understand that your daughter loves Kayak, however, her health condition is more important than sport. What worries me is the cyst found in her abdomen. If I was her caring doctor would find out first what is causing the cyst and its location. If her doctor has scheduled an appointment with gynecologist, I believe the cyst is found in her ovaries. So, be patient until the consultation with gynecologist. At least, you should be happy that your daughter is not having any serious symptom. All the best! Chat Doctor.
