I recently found out I have a right ovarian cyst measuring 95.5 cc with a peripherally situated solid component of about 12x6 mm in the adnexal area from my ultrasound. My CA-125 is 8.5, which is normal. My doctor initially suggested surgery but then prescribed me Derivery 10 mg daily for 3 months when I asked about medicine options. I'm 24 and not married should I be worried about the cyst or the treatment plan? Is medicine enough or should I consider surgery?
It's understandable to be concerned about your ovarian cyst, especially with the initial suggestion of surgery. While a normal CA-125 level and your age are positive factors, the size and solid component of the cyst warrant caution. Whether medicine or surgery is the best option depends on your individual circumstances and the potential for complications. It's crucial to have a thorough discussion with your doctor about the pros and cons of each approach.
