HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned you age else something better could have been thought with the history of ovarian cyst you may not be having regular menses if you are on some hormone medicines, if this is the cyst is the main concern then it is advisable to cure this first but most of the time it regresses on its own, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
