Hi,

Most of the small ovarian cysts are harmless and some of these disappear by themselves in time. Most of the ovarian cysts can be safely treated with hormonal birth pills which regulate the hormones and reduce the risk of more cysts. Pain and discomfort may be managed by analgesics or tranquillizers. Rarely a cyst may be removed by surgery. Very rarely an ovarian cyst (Not a small one like this) may rupture causing a lot of vaginal bleeding, pain, symptoms of fainting and dizziness. In these cases, emergency removal of the cyst or the ovary may have to be done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
