Your doctor saw the cyst in the left ovary, so he removed it, and that
is fine. But may be that lead to some kind of hematoma. If that is the
case it will resolve spontaneously in one or two weeks. You should
control it with ultrasound before thinking of removal of ovary. And
consult the surgeon.

Ultrasound shows left ovary enlarged at 4.7 cm, and cyst at 3.6 cm, so should I be worried about cancer? Since the pain is so enormous, should I consider having left ovary removed?
