    • Fibroids may alter uterine contractions and increase the uterine lining's surface area, leading to more bleeding.

A large ovarian cyst (5738mm, which is 5.738 cm) with internal septation is unlikely to be curable with medication alone. surgery is needed for larger or persistent cysts, or those with concerning features like internal septation.
