My sonogram showed a 17x16mm follicular cyst in my right ovary. Will this go away on its own or do I need surgery for it? I'm really worried about what this means for me.

Last October I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid ovarian cyst and my left ovary. Now they found a similar 6.4 cm cyst on my right ovary. Is there any way to shrink this cyst since I'm unmarried and want to preserve my fertility?

Hormonal cysts can sometimes be shrunk with birth control pills. Fertility-sparing surgery like cystectomy is an option if it grows or causes symptoms.
