I've been struggling with PCOS and hydrosalpinx in my left fallopian tube my doctor says it needs to be removed. There's also a cyst on my right ovary, and they'll check if my right tube is blocked too before possibly removing it and suggesting IVF. But I'm not sure if surgery is the right step since IVF isn't guaranteed. What should I do?

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.
