I had an ultrasound yesterday that showed a right ovarian mass measuring 43.5x20.7mm with two hemorrhagic cysts (15.0x12.0mm and 9.2x8.9mm) and no dominant follicle. The left ovary is normal. I'm really worried do I need surgery to remove the cysts or can they be treated with medication?

It's understandable to be worried about the findings from your ultrasound. Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are usually benign, but some may need treatment, including surgery. The size and any associated symptoms will help determine the best course of action.

Ive been told to take gynaset twice a day for five days to trigger my period. If I stop taking it, will I get my period right away? Im planning to travel on the 18th and started the medication on the 5th. Will my period be finished by the time I need to leave, or should I keep taking the gynaset until my trip is over to push back the period? Could use some advice!

Periods are expected to start 2-7 days after stopping these tablets. In order to be sure to avoid periods during travel, you can take the tablets till the day of travel or until the day you complete your travel.
