Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. In the current scenario, your doctor has suggested the use of oral contraception to arrest ovulation and thereby reduce the chance of recurrence. Since the size of the ovarian cyst is small, watchful observation is advisable. However, since it is a complex cyst, active management should be planned as and when needed. Hope this helps.
