  • Hello Nad17

    I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is struggling with ovarian cysts at the moment. They are fairly common and typically go away within a few months without needing any treatment. However from your post it sounds as if she is really struggling with some symptoms so I'd certainly suggest getting back in touch with her GP or the Consultant. Hopefully they will be able to help with suggestions to improve things. 

    I do hope that the problems are resolved soon. 

    Best wishes,
