What is the appropriate management of ovarian cyst?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have irregular periods. I first got my period at nine years of age, and I bled for a whole year. I sought help from many doctors, and eventually, I was on birth control for a few months. My last period was around a month ago. I did not get it that month, and I am not sexually active. I have never been sexually active. I am experiencing brown discharge when wiping, and sometimes it is like period blood, but I am not getting my period. I was also sick two weeks ago with an illness going around. Nine months ago, they found a two centimeter cyst in my ovaries. The doctor conducted a pregnancy test, and it was negative. Kindly provide your suggestion.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

Considering your symptoms of irregular menstruation and the diagnosis of a two centimeter ovarian cyst with a negative pregnancy test, I suggest you undergo an ovarian cystectomy, as this may be the underlying cause of your menstrual abnormality. I suggest you visit a nearby clinic or hospital to consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and discussion about the surgery. In the meantime, you can take a tablet of Medroxyprogesterone 10 mg once daily to temporarily address your menstrual abnormality. If your symptoms persist, Kindly follow up. I suggest you consult a specialist, talk with them, and take the medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
