Hello! Nearly half a year ago I had a more significant delay in menstruation, then I got discomfort and pain low down on one side. I went to the doctor and found that I had a functional cyst on one ovary, about 4 cm large. I postponed the contraceptive intake suggested by the doctor for 2-3 months, eventually due to the lack of a change in the cyst I had to start the therapy, but from time to time I have pain again. Some gynecologists were of the opinion that it was better to take Dufaston-type drugs because they did not think contraceptives were suitable for this condition. I am afraid that after the end of the planned treatment I will have to have surgery if the formation in question does not disappear. I tested for hormones, everything is normal. My question is - have any of you had similar problems and how did you deal with them - with drugs, surgery or others. Thanks in advance for your attention!

Unfortunately, I can't help you with advice, because I also have a problem, but I'm still postponing going to the doctor because I know that it will start with "trying this", "trying that" ... Would you share exactly how late were you and were there any other symptoms? I'm about two months late. There is no option to be pregnant, and all the other possible reasons I read are not with me. And I don't have any other symptoms, just as you were a regular, just December didn't come and there's been nothing since. And how come all the hormones are right for you, and there is no cycle? Is this possible? I apologize for asking questions instead of advice ...
Apparently for more than 10 years it hurts me sometimes, other times not. I took birth control pills and it's still there. It may burst and disappear on its own.
From the author to number 1 - then, when I think I had a cyst, my cycle was delayed by 45 days, but then it came to me as usual, on the 33rd day somewhere, although the cyst was still there. I tested for the hormones 6 months later because the cyst didn't go away, but it's obviously not a hormonal imbalance once they're normal. To number 2 - your cyst, if it is, should not remain in your ovary for so long, because it consumes it, at least so I read, the pressure it exerts, damages your eggs. So it's good to get rid of it as soon as possible. However, I am still a medical student, so it is best to consult a gynecologist.
She has been battling cysts since she was 16 years old. I had an 8 cm cyst! Luckily for me, I've always been on pills only, sometimes contraceptives, sometimes dufaston (I was constantly nauseous and horrible). So my advice is not to procrastinate, because it can become huge and really the operation is the only solution. Then accept that you are prone to cysts and whenever you suspect that something is wrong, go to the doctor and of course strictly follow his advice. Yes, as I told you, some drugs are very nasty, but it's better to endure a few days than to have surgery.
