Hello

Your symptoms need proper evaluation.It is important to know size of ovarian cysts.
It is important to exclude pelvic inflammatory disease(PID),as there is fluid in POD.Fluid in POD may be normally present during ovulation.
PCOD(poly cystic ovarian disease) need confirmation by biochemical and hormone assay.
Bulky left ovary may be due to PCOD or PID.

Generally simple ovarian cysts may only require follow up ultrasound.It may regress in 4-6 months.
If size increases or it causes pain then surgical intervention may be considered.

Get well soon.
Take Care
