Cyst/bloodclot problem?

I recently had a 13cm cyst removed from my ovary. I am still experiencing pain on my left side, so my dr sent me for an ultrasound. I just got the results back..and have another mass. My dr said they are not sure if it is a blood clot or if it is a cyst, but did say it has cystic properties..so they are sending me for an mri . Do bloodclots have cytic properties??


Also, how fast do these things grow? i had surgery 3 weeks ago...and it seems soo fast for it to have grown back again.





Thanks

Cyst/bloodclot problem?
Clots do not usually have cystic properties, but there is a kind of cyst that can occur that has blood in it that is called an endometrioma or a chocolate cyst. The reason this is called a chocolate cyst is because when this kind of cyst bursts the blood that comes out is brown and old.





As for how fast a cyst grows, most cysts are fluid filled and when they are that means that it's not cancer.





I would recommend talking to your doctor again to ask for further clarification of the results of the ultrasound.
