I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst

View allI'm 9 weeks pregnant and this morning I noticed some watery discharge that was similar to pee. It was just that one time, but now I'm still having some kind of watery discharge, though there's no color or smell. I'm really worried about if this is harmful or not. Could you please let me know if there's something I should be worried about?

Is there any way to get rid of a cyst without going through surgery? Also, what are some effective ways to manage really bad menstrual cramps?
Yes, there are various ways to manage or treat cysts without surgery. Many cysts, particularly ovarian cysts, will resolve on their own, especially if they are benign. Other cyst types, like sebaceous cysts, may be treated with heat compresses or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. For menstrual cramps, heat therapy, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief

My mom's ultrasound report shows a cyst in her left ovary and a small appendicolith measuring 92.3 mm. Can this be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option?
For an ovarian cyst, treatment options range from observation and medication to surgery depending on size and symptoms. Small cysts may resolve on their own, while larger or symptomatic cysts might require surgical removal or other interventions. For an appendicolith (a stone in the appendix), treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the stone. Options include observation, antibiotics, or surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).
