Doctor's answer:
Hello, an ovarian cyst with a diameter of 3.5 cm can be left untreated if there are no clinical symptoms. Clinical ovarian cysts with a diameter exceeding 5 cm should be surgically removed. Since you are experiencing stomach pain several times a day, it is better to have the surgery done early.
