A member asked:

Yesterday i was diagnosed with 5 cm ovarian cyst. i'm 19 and physically very active. should i stop dancing and exercising due to the cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Usually cysts are benign. For the pain nsaids or birth control pills can help. Sometimes if there are severe symptoms they me need to be removed with surgery. Follow the direction of your physician.
