Yes, it's possible to treat a 10 cm ovarian cyst without surgery, especially if you're experiencing no symptoms. Many cysts, including those this size, are functional and may resolve on their own, or with a period of watchful waiting.

I've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?

A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.

I've been in a situation where I had unprotected sex recently, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take the i-pill again. I used it last on June 22nd, so would taking it today be alright? I'm just anxious about using it twice in one month.

yeah it's safe to take 2nd pill within in a month
