I've been diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst measuring 8.3 cm by 4.3 cm and was told I need surgery but I really don't want to go through with it are there any medicine options that could help treat this instead

excision of the cyst is advised.

I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself
