Just recieved letter from gynaecologist, it said I had a solid right ovarian cyst measuring 3cm with no increase in the vascular ivy when colour Doppler was applied. What has worried me was on lett
it said urgent mri on pelvis. (Wish it never said urgent) and my womb lining shows paper thin at 2mm. Just can’t get the urgent mri out my head.
Hi Kimmy
An mri is standard and is to look at the features of the cyst to make sure there is nothing to be concerned about. There are different types if cysts. It would also be very normal to have the mri done as urgent rather than routine.
The urgent referrals are to rule out cancer, where someone has symptoms that could lead to a diagnosis of cancer in some people. They always rule out the potential serious causes first.
Urgent is good because you will have answers very soon, whereas a non urgent one could go on for some time. An urgent referral simply means that they try to see you within 2 weeks rather than waiting longer.
