If it is of 5 cm size usual approach is to wait and watch. It means to have anther USG after 1 month and see if the size is increasing or not?
If it is more than 5 cm size then differential diagnosis must be ruled out. Two possibilities are there - Functional cyst which causes pain and bleeding which usually can be removed surgically.
While pathological cysts have malignant lesions. However, it is usually seen above 35 years of age. So in your case mostly cyst will be functional. Just wait for the gynaecologist appointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
