My mom's ultrasound report shows a cyst in her left ovary and a small appendicolith measuring 92.3 mm. Can this be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option?

For an ovarian cyst, treatment options range from observation and medication to surgery depending on size and symptoms. Small cysts may resolve on their own, while larger or symptomatic cysts might require surgical removal or other interventions. For an appendicolith (a stone in the appendix), treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the stone. Options include observation, antibiotics, or surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy).

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and don't know what to do. I'm considering an abortion because I just can't handle things anymore. Could you give me some guidance on what my options are and how to go about it? Do you provide abortion services?

I'm currently 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant, but I'm really anxious about the possibility of having a C-section. I had two miscarriages last year at 3 months, and although my APLA test came back negative, I'm taking ecospirin. My doctor mentioned that she won't wait beyond 38 weeks for a normal delivery because of my previous miscarriages, and I'm worried about not being able to wait for a natural birth. Is there any room to wait a bit longer for a normal delivery? Feeling confused about what to do.
