Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Cyst of 2 cm on the ovary does not necessitate removal immediately. You can wait for some more time and do a regular follow-up as to know its status by means of ultrasound scan. In case the cyst is growing bigger, it needs to be ascertained as to its nature by undergoing an Ultrasound guided biopsy. Based on the findings from histopathology report and the clinical symptoms, appropriate decision can be taken for its surgical removal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
