Options could include monitoring the cyst over time, medication or surgery to remove the cyst. Treatment can also depend on your age and if youve reached menopause.

  Ovarian cysts do not always require treatment. In people who still have monthly periods, ovarian cysts often resolve on their own within one to two months without treatment. In people who have been through menopause, ovarian cysts are less likely to resolve. […] If a cyst is large, causing pain, or appears suspicious for cancer, treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cyst or the entire ovary. […] Before menopause — If you have not yet been through menopause, watchful waiting usually involves monitoring for symptoms (pelvic pain or pressure) and repeating the pelvic ultrasound after about six weeks. If your cyst does not get bigger, or if it resolves during the period of watchful waiting, you will most likely not need surgery. Your health care provider might suggest taking birth control pills during this time; this can help prevent new ovarian cysts from developing.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/255865-treatment

  Epidemiologic studies from the 1970s-1990s reported inverse relationships between oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use and surgically confirmed functional ovarian cysts. Short-term treatment with OCPs was thus used for initial management of ovarian cysts. […] However, meta-analyses have since shown that there is no difference between OCP use and placebo in terms of treatment outcomes in ovarian cysts and that these masses should be monitored expectantly for several menstrual cycles. If a cystic mass does not resolve after this timeframe, it is unlikely to be a functional cyst, and further workup may be indicated. […] Many patients with simple ovarian cysts based on ultrasonographic findings do not require treatment. In a postmenopausal patient, a persistent simple cyst smaller than 10cm in dimension in the presence of a normal CA125 value may be monitored with serial ultrasonographic examinations.

  Premenopausal women with asymptomatic simple cysts smaller than 8cm on sonograms in whom the CA125 value is within the reference range may be monitored, with a repeat ultrasonographic examination in 8-12 weeks. Hormone therapy, including, as stated above, the use of the OCPs, is not helpful in resolving the cyst. […] Persistent simple ovarian cysts larger than 5-10 cm, especially if symptomatic, and complex ovarian cysts should be considered for surgical removal. […] The surgical approaches include an open incisional technique (laparotomy) and a minimally invasive technique (laparoscopy) with very small incisions. […] The use of laparoscopic techniques is becoming widespread, and the indications are extending. Laparoscopy is preferred to laparotomy when indicated because it has less adverse effects for the patient and leads to faster recovery.

• #8 Evaluation of Ovarian Cysts | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2011/0801/od1.html

  Initial evaluation of an ovarian cyst is largely determined by its characteristics on ultrasonography, in addition to the presence of symptoms, laboratory evaluation, and patient history. Women with an ovarian cyst, but with no symptoms, family or personal history of cancer (e.g., ovarian, breast, colorectal), physical or laboratory evidence suggestive of infection, pregnancy, or systemic illness, are considered at low risk of ovarian cancer and may be followed with serial ultrasonography. […] A cyst identified on transvaginal ultrasonography is usually benign if it is thin-walled, unilocular, smooth-bordered, and less than 10 cm in diameter. […] Cyst aspiration and treatment with combined oral contraceptives do not hasten cyst resolution. […] Neither cyst aspiration nor treatment with combined oral contraceptives is beneficial for treating ovarian cysts.

[…] The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologist of Canada (SOGC) recommends follow-up imaging for asymptomatic ovarian cysts < 10 cm in size based (see figure 1). [...] Asymptomatic cysts >10 cm should be referred to an OBGYN due to the risk of possible ovarian torsion and increased risk of malignancy. […] Symptomatic, non-ruptured, cysts should be observed for persistence of symptoms as cysts often resolve on their own with expectant management. […] Avoid definitive intervention for functional cysts (ie physiologic cysts involved with menstrual cycle, such as follicular or corpus luteum cysts). […] NSAIDs should be first line analgesia and there is no role for hormonal management as this has no advantage compared to expectant management alone.
