I have a 4.9 cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and attached my scan report. Could you check and let me know if surgery is necessary or if it can be treated with medication? Also, is there a chance it might go away on its own with lifestyle changes?

Functional ovarian cysts usually go away without treatment. If your cyst is likely functional, your provider may suggest a wait-and-see approach. You may have a follow-up ultrasound within a few weeks or months after your diagnosis to see if your cyst is getting larger, smaller or changing in any other way.

I'm really confused because I've missed my period for two months now and I'm experiencing this black and brown discharge. I'm sexually active, but I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant since I haven't had any vomiting. What's going on here? Could I still be pregnant?
