Hi doctor, I have pain in my left pelvic area, which gets better after taking Meftal Spas. I got an ultrasound done, which revealed a 5 cm hemorrhagic cyst in my right ovary. My period is also delayed. Is this cyst regular or an endometriosis cyst? Is this pain related to the cyst? What should I do? I am attaching my scan reports.
Hi. I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), you are fine and only need very few changes. Let me tell you the problems one by one followed by what to do. Your cyst is just a hemorrhagic or corpus luteum cyst. After ovulation, the remains of the follicle may sometimes keep bleeding and form a cyst. It is not endometriosis because in that case, you would have regular painful periods every month, brownish discharge and severe pain during sex. Your cyst will resolve on its own. Just forget about it, you can have a repeat scan after four weeks to check the size. Your scan says polycystic ovaries. But, the criteria for PCO is at least ten cysts of 10 to 12 mm on both sides. So you do not have PCO. I suggest you try the following to reduce your weight. Try to reduce 2 to 4 kg per month. Do not hurry on weight reduction, as it will be difficult to maintain. As soon as you reduce at least 5 kg, you will see changes in your health. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
