Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
You are 28yrs old unmarried girl. Problem in periods for the last few 4-5 months.
USG - ?endometrial cyst of size 3.72*2.63 in right ovary.
CA125-39.2 U/ml. and you are on "ovrall" oral contraceptive tablet for 3 months.
These all finding suggestive of endometrial cyst. Best solution for this is to get married as early as possible. because main aim of therapy is to reduces the frequency of ovulation.
Thanks

hi,
Endometriosis is a common problem in young women and causes irregular periods and pain along with difficulty to conceive.Your doctor is right and it does have to a tendency to recur.Your cyst is not large enough to warrant a operation. I suggest you take the OCP for 3cycles and repeat the usg after 3 months. Since there is a conception problem,which may get worse with age, she has suggested you get married and have children.There is nothing serious about this which cannot be managed.
