I've had a right adnexal cyst since 2021, and the size keeps changing it was 86x54x40 mm in August 2021, then 71x39x53 mm in September, 72x42x55 mm in October, and 59x45x71 mm in November. By September 2022, it grew to 103x70x52 mm and now extends into the POD. Should I try medicine first or go for surgery? If surgery is needed, would it be open or laparoscopic? Also, what's the approximate cost for this treatment?

I've been having really bad stomach pain in my lower right side and my reports show minimal free fluid in the pelvis plus a cyst in my right ovary with hyperdense content. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?

The combination of lower right abdominal pain, minimal free fluid in the pelvis, and a hyperdense ovarian cyst can be concerning and may warrant further investigation. While many ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, the hyperdense content suggests a potential need for a closer look. The severity of your condition and the need for surgery will depend on the size, type, and other characteristics of the cyst, as well as your individual symptoms and overall health.
