My ultrasound report says the ovarian cyst is measured in mm but I'm not sure how big that is in cm. Can you help me understand the size in centimeters? Also is it possible to treat this without surgery or is surgery the only option?

excision of the cyst is advised under laparoscopic methods.

I recently had an MTP at 6 weeks, and my ultrasound after 10 days showed there's still some products left in the upper abdomen area, measuring about 18x13.5x10.4 mm. I'm worried and wondering if a D&C is absolutely necessary, or if taking another dose of misoprostol might be an option. What would you recommend?

I'm noticing that on the third day of my period, there's either no flow or it's really light, and this has been happening for the past couple of months. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it just a normal variation?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
