My left ovary has something called an enlarged cyst that measures about 27x21mm, and I've been having really heavy stomach pains and bleeding during my periods. The pain's been so bad that I feel like throwing up sometimes. My periods are also delayed. Should I be worried about the cyst or all these symptoms, or is there something particular this might be indicating?

Your symptoms could be related to an ovarian cyst. The delay in periods, heavy stomach pain, and bleeding during periods, along with vomiting, are concerning symptoms. I recommend you consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take pain relief medication such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the stomach pain. The usual dosage for ibuprofen is 200-400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm getting engaged in three months, and I'm considering doing a premarital check-up before stepping into married life. What exactly does the check-up include, and is there anything specific that my partner and I really should be focusing on? I want to make sure we're starting our life together on the right foot.

Yes go ahead

I have a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst and I've been taking Navelon for a month without breaks. Since I don't have any pain and weigh 46 kg, is there a chance the cyst will shrink enough to avoid surgery?

While taking Novelon continuously for a month may help with pain and slow the growth of a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst, it's unlikely to shrink it enough to avoid surgery, especially if the cyst is large and causing significant issues. Surgery is often recommended for cysts larger than 8 cm or if they cause pain or infertility problems
