You also need to find out if you have uterine fibroids which might be what they mean by bulky.  Sometimes fibroids need surgical removal if they cause problems like heavy long periods.

Anteverted is no big deal...that's just the tilt/angle of the uterus.

How large is the ovarian cyst?   Ovarian cysts that are 5cm or greater, and are complex (like yours with a solid element)  are usually treated with surgery.  They have a greater chance of being malignant than smaller, simple cysts.    Sometimes, doctors watch and wait smaller cysts and sometimes they choose to operate.   Still, most cysts (even larger and complex ones) turn out to be benign.
