I've just found out I have an endometriotic cyst that's 53.5 cm I'm 29 years old. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it, and could this affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future?

While surgery, specifically laparoscopic cystectomy, is often the recommended treatment for a large endometriotic cyst, it's not the only option. Hormone therapy can help manage the condition and potentially shrink the cyst. Regarding fertility, endometriosis itself can impact pregnancy chances, but removing the cyst may improve them, especially in cases of deep endometriosis

View allI'm 24 years old and married. On Saturday morning, I noticed a small pimple on my breast, and when I pressed it to remove the pus, I noticed some white and clear stuff leaking out. When I checked the other breast, it was also leaking when pressed. I've also been dealing with a cold and cough for about a month, and I've been massaging my body with oil daily from my neck to my stomach. Could this leaking be related to me touching or massaging my breasts daily? What's going on?
