Menstrual Blood Environment: It is acidic and contains immune cells, reducing sperm viability.

View allI've had a right adnexal cyst since 2021, and the size keeps changing it was 86x54x40 mm in August 2021, then 71x39x53 mm in September, 72x42x55 mm in October, and 59x45x71 mm in November. By September 2022, it grew to 103x70x52 mm and now extends into the POD. Should I try medicine first or go for surgery? If surgery is needed, would it be open or laparoscopic? Also, what's the approximate cost for this treatment?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?
