A member asked:
I was diagnosed with 5.2 cm ovarian cyst. it doesn't cause me problems, i didn't even know that before the ultrasound. is surgery necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cysts will resolve: Small cysts on the ovary are very common. The overwhelming majority will resolve on their own without surgery. Although they may hurt the best treatment is to take Ibuprofen for the pain and to wait to see if it goes away. Usually obgyns will repeat the sonogram 6-8 weeks later to confirm the cyst has resolved.
