Complex cycsts

ScaredinVegas

I had 2 mammograms and an ultrasound and I was diagnosed with 5 benign complex cysts. My doctor is horrible and I don't understand. He says it is nothing to worry about but I need another ultrasound in 6 months but he won't tell me why. He also recommended I go off of birth control but the mayo clinic seems to say birth control can help cysts. I am waiting on a second opinion with another doctor but I still don't understand what complex cysts mean and why I need to recheck them in 6 months. I feel like this is a ticking time bomb. I also don't know what to think on the birth control. Has anyone been through this?

Hello. I too was recently diagnosed with a couple complex cysts. Actually I had a mammogram and US last summer because I had terrible localized pain. Never felt a lump but US found the cysts. They told me they just monitor these to make sure nothings changes. A couple weeks ago I had my 6 month follow up and was really hopeful the cysts would be gone. I haven’t had any more pain for months. Unfortunately they were still there and unchanged so they said they wanted to see me again in another 6 months. I assumed until I talked to the receptionists that these were simple cysts but they are not. The receptionist referred to mine as complex which changes things greatly IMO. I asked for a copy of my report so hopefully I will know more when that arrives. I was coming here to see if anyone else had complex cysts and was recommended to get a biopsy or if nothing was done with theirs either. Curious what others were experiencing. I’m a little concerned
