Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for writing to us. The cyst you mentioned is about 5 cms. Sometimes a woman can develop functional cysts and they would disappear in 6 to 8 weeks time.
If there were any suspicious areas then the physician would have asked for extended tests urgently.
Please be patient and repeat the scan 1st week of December and you can decide after that
Hope to have answered your query
