Question

I've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?

A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.

I need to abort my baby at 22 weeks and Im really stressed out about this whole situation. My husband lied to me about his past, he was already married and has a family, and I just found out. I feel I cant handle this alone. Hes been pushing me to abort the baby and his first wife is also putting pressure on me, telling me to leave him and my in-laws. I feel so trapped and overwhelmed and sometimes I think about suicide but I can't go through with it. My parents have passed away and I have no one to turn to. Can you help me figure out what I should do?
