Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
I have gone through your findings in detail.
You are suffering from complex left ovarian cyst and multiple simple cysts in right ovary.
It is important to know your symptoms.
You need few more investigations like contrast CT scan of abdomen and tumour markers.This is important due to your age.Though chances of malignancy in left ovary is less,it is important to rule out malignant reasons.
At present you need follow up scanning for left complex ovarian cyst.If symptoms or size persists then you may need surgical removal.
Right ovary has benign findings and it is not the cause for concern.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
