I'm 33 and unmarried, recently diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst measuring 8.3 x 4.3 cm. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to treat it with medication instead. Is that possible? What options do I have? I'm worried about surgery and want to explore other treatments first.

I'm really worried because I did a medical abortion back in December last year when I was 4 weeks pregnant. I went through all the bleeding and even passed tissues and clots. Afterward, I got my periods in February and March, and my home pregnancy tests are negative. But I've noticed my stomach is growing, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I don't have any complications or pregnancy symptoms, but ultrasound isn't an option for me right now due to some family issues. What could be causing this?

Possible Causes of Spleen Enlargement* 1. *Fatty liver*: Although your fatty liver is grade 1, it might be contributing to the spleen enlargement. 2. *Portal hypertension*: Elevated bilirubin (1.6) and liver enzymes (SGOTSGPT) could indicate portal hypertension, which can cause spleen enlargement. 3. *Other potential causes*: Although your tests were mostly normal, other possible causes of spleen enlargement include lymphoma, leukemia, or a spleen disorder. *Recommendations* 1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 2-3 months to monitor the spleen size. 2. *Liver health*: Continue with udiliv 300 and vitamin E to support liver health. 3. *Weight management*: Maintain your weight loss efforts, as excess weight can exacerbate fatty liver and spleen enlargement. 4. *Consult a gastroenterologist*: Seek a consultation with a gastroenterologist to further investigate the cause of spleen enlargement and fatty liver.

My sister has two large fibroids in her uterus and doctors have recommended laparoscopy surgery, saying it might be a critical case. We're looking for the best laparoscopy surgeon but we're from Chhattisgarh, so traveling just for consultation is tough. Can you help with an estimated cost and suggest good options?
