Abstract
Most ovarian cysts in women of reproductive age are physiological (functional) either follicular cysts or cystic corpus luteum. The presence of this kind of cyst is a frequent finding in patients undergoing ovulation induction and ultrasound follicular growth monitoring. As it is not advisable to perform ovarian stimulation under these conditions, patients must be followed up, with or without hormonal treatment, until the resolution of the cyst. Patients have been treated for years with oral contraceptives to obtain the resolution of these cysts. Expectant management has been suggested to have the same effectiveness as hormonal treatment, but such suggestions come from studies including all kinds of cysts. The objective of the current study was to assess the resolution of functional ovarian cysts, observed with control (expectant) management and progesterone only treatment and also to determine the patients satisfaction score for the patients during the course of treatment. For this aim, 90 patients with ovarian cysts, observed by transvaginal ultrasound were randomized to have control (expectant) management (control group) or to receive progesterone only (progesterone group) for one cycle. The patients were monitored after 6 to 8 weeks.
