I'm 25 and just found out I have a dermoid cyst near my right ovary it's 10x7x9 cm. My doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options since I also have PCOD. What else can be done about this?

For your 10x7x9 cm dermoid cyst near your right ovary, while laparoscopic surgery is the most common approach, other options exist, especially considering your PCOD diagnosis. Watchful waiting with regular follow-up scans, hormonal contraceptives to reduce cyst formation, or surgical removal of the cyst alone (cystectomy) without removing the ovary (oophorectomy) are possibilities. Your doctor can help determine the best course of action based on your specific circumstances and preferences

View allI have an 8cm ovarian cyst and really want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can shrink or remove it? I'm worried about the size and hoping for non-surgical options.
While some ovarian cysts naturally resolve without treatment, an 8cm cyst might require medical intervention. There isn't a specific medication to shrink or remove an existing ovarian cyst. However, certain medications can help manage symptoms and potentially prevent new cysts from forming. If the cyst is causing pain, discomfort, or other issues, or if it's not a functional cyst, surgery (laparoscopy or open surgery) may be recommended

I'm feeling really nervous and am physically weak lately, along with dizziness, shortness of breath, and I've noticed I need to urinate a lot more, though there's no leakage or infection. I'm also experiencing pain in my lower pelvic area and back. I used to masturbate by rubbing my clitoris until about 7 years ago. Could that be related to what I'm feeling now? How can I address all these issues? Would really appreciate some advice.
go for gynecologist

A 5cm PCOS-related cyst can be monitored; weight loss, metformin, and hormone balancing may help avoid surgery.
