A member asked:

Can a 7cm ovarian cyst disappear on its own?

Dr. David Holtz answered

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Yes!: Yes! most simple cysts in young women will spontaneously go away without any problems. You should follow up with your gynecologist as directed. Usually a followup ultrasound is done 6-8 weeks after the first.
