Painful corpus luteum cyst (9cm) still present after period and 3 weeks on birth control. next steps? what questions should i ask my re?

Surgery: You need to ask if there is a concern over torsion at this size and the need for surgical treatment of a cyst this size to prevent torsion (which could cause the complete loss of that ovary)
