Is there a relationship between ovarian cysts and the number of days of menstruation?

Patient's question:

One day less, I usually have 7 days, but it has been shorter since the last month. Last month it was 6 days, the month before it was 5 days, and this month it is 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, and told me it was nothing serious, with a little fluid but not very severe. I received a 7-day IV drip.
What kind of help 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 irregular menstruation will occur. 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 or irregular menstruation. 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.
