I'm 26 and dealing with irregular periods. My ultrasound showed both ovaries are bulky with multiple small cysts the largest is 0.42cm on the right and 0.35cm on the left. The right ovary measures 3.62x1.98x3.00cm (volume 11.26cc) and the left is 2.84x2.28x3.29cm (volume 11.15cc). My uterus size is 7.35x3.59x4.26cm. Do I need surgery or will medication work? Can this be cured?
