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 11 weeks pregnant and have a 99 mm chocolate cyst do I really need surgery for it and if so is it safe for the baby

Generally, cysts larger than 4cm are often recommended for removal, but other factors like your symptoms and pregnancy stage play a role.

They've gotten irregular, only happening every other day, and haven't improved even after adding more fiber and water to my diet, plus drinking lemon and orange juice.
