I have a 6.5 cm x 4.5 cm ovarian cyst and my CA125 level is 48. My gynecologist prescribed Ovral, which I think is a contraceptive pill. I'm wondering if birth control pills can actually cure ovarian cysts and if taking them for 21 days is the best option or if I should consider surgery instead.
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.
