Does an ovarian cyst go away on its own? Does it need treatment?

Patient's question:

Abdominal discomfort, went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was an ovarian cyst. Can an ovarian cyst disappear on its own? What is the impact of an ovarian cyst on fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! An ovarian cyst is a type of ovarian tumor. Generally, benign cysts such as follicular cysts are usually around 3 centimeters in size. In this case, the cyst may disappear on its own. At this point, you should wait for three months. If the follicular cyst shrinks or does not grow within about two months, the cyst will likely disappear on its own after some time. If it continues to grow, surgical treatment will be necessary.
