A member asked:
Can a heating pad help shrink a 7.5 cm ovarian cyst? any other remedies to naturally shrink an ovarian cyst? also, can it shrink much within one week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A heating pad can help with the discomfort from an ovarian cyst but will not help shrink it. They can shrink some or rupture and go away completely in 1 week, can remain unchanged or can even grow in that time. That is the reason that follow-up is recommended. Hope this helps.
