Does an ovarian cyst have anything to do with the number of days of menstruation?

Patient's question:

One day less, I usually have 7 days, but it has been shorter since the month before last. The month before last was 6 days, last month was 5 days, and this month it's only 4 days. I don't know what's going on.
Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Last month, I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said I had a small cyst about 2 centimeters, that it was nothing serious, and there was a little fluid, but it wasn't severe. I was given an IV drip for 7 days.
What kind of help do I need: I want to ask what's going on and how I should be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most ovarian cysts affect ovarian function. If ovarian function is insufficient, ovulation will be affected, and without ovulation, menstruation will become irregular. Therefore, there is a certain relationship between irregular menstruation and ovarian cysts. However, if it is a physiological corpus luteum cyst, it has little impact.
Suggestion: There are many reasons for delayed or absent menstruation. Some ovarian cysts may cause delayed menstruation or menstrual disorders. If an ovarian cyst is present, surgical treatment may be considered based on its size and shape. Physiological cysts generally do not affect menstruation and do not require treatment.
