Could an ovarian cyst in PCOS/PMOS might eventually disappear with medication?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 33-year-old female. I am not married. I have been dealing with PCOS/PMOS for a long time. A few weeks ago, I went to my doctor, and she discovered an ovarian cyst. It is insignificant but appears to have grown a little larger, approximately half an inch, as shown in the photo.

Gynera is currently in my second month of use. I missed my period last month; I only noticed a few small crimson fragments in the toilet. So, I am concerned about this cyst and want to know if it will shrink till it disappears. My doctor informed me that the tablets will be changed to Yasmin next month. I would like to get another opinion on this.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The photograph depicts a 48 mm-sized cyst, which appears to be primarily basic (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). You must continue taking medications for three months. It is treatable with medications.

After two months, you can have a repeat scan. You should be on the lookout for discomfort since it might twist around the ovarian ligament and pedicle.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Is there anything I can use like herbs, supplements or medicine (glucophage?) to reduce the size of the cyst and to treat the PCOS/PMOS or decrease it? Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

You can take medication for an ovarian cyst, but there is a risk of ovarian torsion, so starting medication without proper evaluation may not be advisable.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
