Yes, many ovarian cysts can be managed without surgery. A common approach is "watchful waiting," where your doctor will monitor the cyst with follow-up ultrasounds. In some cases, medications like birth control pills or other hormone treatments may be prescribed to prevent new cysts from forming or to manage symptoms. Home remedies like pain relief and heat therapy can also help ease symptom

I'm just a bit worried and need some advice. My wife is three months pregnant and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to eat dry seeds, grapes, and dry fruits regularly? She also eats biscuits daily.
