Is Increasing Size Of Ovarian Cyst While On Eloquis A Cause For Concern?
I have a 41mm ovarian cyst that is increasing in size and am currently take eloquis for hyper-coagulative syndrome. I have heard this approaching the size where removal is usually recommended. I am wondering if that is a true statement and also if I should be worried about it rupturing due to be on the anti-coagulate.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different criteria for removal of a ovarian cyst:(1) cyst larger than 7.6 cm
(2)cysts that is observed for 2 to 3 months with no improvement
(3)bilateral cysts (on both sides)
(4)ultrasound findings indicating the cyst is not simple, it is possibly a dangerous cyst
If you are not having no symptoms then it may not need to be removed at this stage.
There is a small risk of rupture but this may not be significant.
I hope this helps
