I have a cyst in ovary

Hi I have been going back and forth to the doctors for the last 2 weeks.  I went to see my gynocologist monday because I had spotting and bleeding since July 28th and ended up in urgent care that previous friday. My gyn Dr. wanted to put me on medroxyprogesterone acetate 10mg but while I was in the office they gave me a vaginal biopsy and was scheduled for a ultrasound so I wanted to get my results before I start my hormone medicine.Doctor called me the next day and said I have a non-cancerous firbroid and polyp from the biopsy results. The ultrasound results showed that I have a cyst that was kinda big.  I wanted to wait on the hormone treatment medicine till I got the results from the ultrasound ect.so should I start taking the hormone replacement and would it help shrink my cyst . I forgot to ask my doctor and she wont be in till tuesday.

Hi!
Sorry for the delay in the response.  If you were my patient, I would recommend that you go ahead and take the medication.  Common name is Provera.  Because you have a polyp, your doctor may want to do a hysteroscopy/d&c procedure for you to clean out the lining of the uterus.  This procedure will be easier if the Provera has worked first.

If you were my patient, I would tell you to take your medicine, and then schedule the d&c for the week after the period that results from taking the Provera.  I would probably just elect to watch the ovarian cyst, depending upon its characteristics--usually they go away on their own within 4-6 weeks.

Another option would be to wait on surgery, and just repeat the ultrasound in 6-8 weeks.
Be sure to discuss all of the above with your doctor!

Hope this helps!
