The initial treatment for a 3 cm ovarian cyst in a 28-year-old woman would typically involve monitoring the cyst to see if it resolves on its own. Examining the woman after her next menstrual period will help determine if the cyst has grown or changed in any way. Hormone therapy or surgery are generally not necessary unless the cyst is causing significant symptoms or is found to be cancerous. Aspirating the cyst may be considered if it is causing discomfort, but sending the fluid to pathology would only be necessary if there is a suspicion of cancer.
