Dr. Goldstein, the best obgyn in NYC, warns to beware if you’ve been told you have an “ovarian cyst.” This is a very non-specific term. All it means is that there is a fluid-filled structure within your ovary. Each month a healthy premenopausal patient forms a 2 ½ centimeter “cyst”, which is the dominant follicle prior to ovulation. If ovulation does not take place and this follicle enlarges, it becomes known as a “follicular cyst.” This is not a tumor (benign or malignant) and does not require any intervention.

In addition, benign ovarian structures do not become malignant. This is not the same as in the cervix, breast, or uterine lining where there are well-defined pre-cancer changes that will ultimately “cross the line.” Thus, many women who are told they have an ovarian cyst want it out “before it becomes cancer.” Such benign growths do not become cancer. If you have been told you have an ovarian cyst, this should be evaluated with transvaginal ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound to distinguish if it is truly suspicious and, perhaps, needs surgical removal, or should be left alone.

If you have been told you have an ovarian cyst, then contact Dr. Steven R. Goldstein, the best gynecologist in NYC for a consultation. You may visit his website at www.goldsteinmd.com for more information on him and to schedule an appointment.
