I have polycystic ovaries and found out 4 years ago through an ultrasound that my right ovary has a 1.5cm cyst. My right ovary measures 3.1cm x 3.8cm and my left is 2.4cm x 3.1cm. Are these sizes bigger than normal? What's the usual size for ovaries? I really want to know if these cysts can affect pregnancy and how to manage them without surgery or laser treatment. I'm 24, 147cm tall, and weigh 73kg. I also have a history of thyroid issues and currently take Thyroorm 88mcg and Metatime 500mg. Can you help me understand my condition better and suggest natural ways to recover? I've attached my recent prescription for reference.
