I am sorry: Unfortunately, our healthcare system is a monetary system rather than a social system where everyone is covered and treated. Your ovarian cyst my rupture on its' own, however it is also a little large to be suppressed by an oral contraceptive pill, but it is worth a try. Surely, there is a clinic or indigent care hospital available in miami for treatment..

Sad but true: Typically these cysts are filled with water and while they can be painful, they are usually harmless. At 10cm they can rupture on their own and cause pain. Also, they can twist. I would avoid roller coasters or any other movement that could cause a twisting inside your body. If you chose to pay to have removed it's a same day outpatient procedure done laparoscopically.
