I have an 8cm ovarian dermoid cyst and my doctor recommended surgery. Is there any ayurvedic treatment that could help shrink or manage this cyst without surgery? I'm really worried about going under the knife and wanted to explore other options first

I'm 37 and just found out I have a 10 cm ovarian cyst during a routine checkup but I have no symptoms or pain at all is it possible to treat this without surgery since I've never had any surgeries before

Yes, it's possible to treat a 10 cm ovarian cyst without surgery, especially if you're experiencing no symptoms. Many cysts, including those this size, are functional and may resolve on their own, or with a period of watchful waiting.
