How is a left ovarian cyst treated?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my left abdomen has been a bit painful, especially when pressed, the pain becomes more severe. Later, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said I have pelvic effusion, which is also pelvic. Besides that, I have a left ovarian cyst. She was quite busy at the time and just said, "First, treat the pelvic," and prescribed some medication for it. At the time, I didn't ask too much, but now that I think about it, I'd like to understand how to treat the left ovarian cyst?

Doctor's answer:

The antibiotics you are taking for pelvic inflammatory disease can also be effective against ovarian cysts, so they can be used concurrently. If this cyst is caused by inflammation, it may enlarge or disappear after medication. This means you need to take the medication continuously for two weeks. Treating pelvic inflammatory disease can also be effective against ovarian cysts. After the menstrual period ends, you should have a follow-up ultrasound in three days to check if the symptoms are stable.
