This Guideline outlines the management of ovarian masses in premenopausal women.
If a cyst is suspected or found, take a full history, including family history and other malignancy risk factors. Ask for features that could indicate endometriosis or malignancy (early satiety or altered appetite, abdominal discomfort or urinary frequency or urgency).
Examine the person, including doing a vaginal examination.
"I am so glad and grateful for being a member of NASGP's BOB Locum Chambers. I started with them in a critical period of my career as I was a newly-qualified GP, looking for work in a new area. NASGP chair Dr Richard Fieldhouse and Membership Support Manager Ali Lewis's help was a godsend. They introduced me to locum work in a friendly and kind manner, provided valuable support and excellent service through the ever-improving LocumDeck and NASGP website. NASGP also helped me funnelling down all the job offers I received through my locum work until I recently agreed for a salaried position in a GP practice that I love working at. "
