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'm experiencing some pain during my first trimester of pregnancy, and it only lasts for a minute or so each time. I'm starting to get worried because I've heard this could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Our patient was told to take chymoral forte three times a day after her ovarian removal surgery. Now she's feeling really nauseous and dizzy when she tries to get out of bed. Do you think it's okay if we stop the medication for a day to see if these are side effects?

Chymoral is not that essential drug so yes u can stop it for a day. Majority of the drugs have nausea vomiting as their side effects which manifest in different people variably.
