I'm having a bit of an issue. After having sex, like a day or two later, I start feeling this burning sensation down there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Can you help me understand what might be causing this and any advice on what I can do to feel better?

I found out I have a 3mm cyst in my uterus and I'm 32 years old can this be treated with medicine or would I need surgery? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is for my age

A 3mm uterine cyst is often benign and might not require surgery. Your doctor may recommend observation and regular follow-ups unless symptoms develop.

I had an ultrasound yesterday that showed a right ovarian mass measuring 43.5x20.7mm with two hemorrhagic cysts (15.0x12.0mm and 9.2x8.9mm) and no dominant follicle. The left ovary is normal. I'm really worried do I need surgery to remove the cysts or can they be treated with medication?

It's understandable to be worried about the findings from your ultrasound. Hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are usually benign, but some may need treatment, including surgery. The size and any associated symptoms will help determine the best course of action.
