Simple cyst isn't an alarming issue now given your age. It can occur due to hormonal changes and it may also get resolved on its own. Irregular periods can be due to plenty of other causes.

Hello,
You have three issues that need separate evaluation: gallstones, abdominal tuberculosis, and absence of periods for five months with a reported cyst.
1. Abdominal tuberculosis: Continue your TB medicines exactly as prescribed and follow up regularly with your treating physician. Do not stop or change the medicines on your own. Your doctor may need to monitor liver function during treatment.
2. Gallstones: Management depends on whether you have symptoms or complications. If you have repeated pain in the upper right abdomen, consult a surgeon to discuss whether surgery is needed.
3. No periods for five months: If pregnancy is possible, take a pregnancy test. Consult a gynaecologist for evaluation, including thyroid function, prolactin and other hormone tests as appropriate, along with a review of your ultrasound report. The significance of the cyst depends on its type and size.
Medication safety: TB medicines can sometimes affect the liver. Seek urgent medical care if you develop yellow eyes or skin, dark urine, persistent vomiting, or severe abdominal pain. Do not stop TB treatment without contacting your TB doctor unless you are being urgently assessed for a suspected serious reaction.
Please arrange follow-up with your TB physician and gynaecologist, and bring all your reports and current medication details.

The best option in this given scenario would be to consult with your gastrologist as earliest as possible because if its gastric tb thn none of us would want it to grow further otherwise if it becomes untreatable with oral tablets then you'll have to get it surgically removed which is something you wouldn't be enjoying much.

Don't stop TB medicines - meet your treating doctor with all reports.
2. Take both reports (gallstone ultrasound + abdominal TB report + period/cyst ultrasound) to one physician and one gynecologist together, so they can see the full picture.
3. Ask your doctor specifically: "Could my absent periods be related to abdominal TB or only due to the cyst?"
4. Eat light, low-fat food for gallstone, take plenty of protein while on TB treatment.
Health Tips
go to hospital quickly if:
Severe abdominal pain with vomiting, fever not reducing, yellow eyes, very heavy bleeding or severe lower abdominal pain.

Hello,
I understand your concern. Your ultrasound report shows a few findings that require evaluation:
1. Gallstones: A stone measuring approximately 12.6 mm, biliary sludge, and gallbladder wall thickening (5.2 mm) suggest possible cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation).
2. Abdominal TB: This ultrasound cannot confirm or exclude abdominal tuberculosis. If previously diagnosed, treatment and follow-up with your physician are essential.
3. Ovarian cyst: A 2.7 cm cyst is seen in the right ovarian region. Small cysts are commonly benign and may resolve spontaneously.
4. Missed periods: Five months without menstruation requires evaluation for pregnancy, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalance, PCOS, or chronic illness. The cyst alone does not explain this.
Reduced liver echotexture also requires correlation with liver function tests.
Next Steps
Consult a general surgeon promptly to assess gallstones and possible gallbladder inflammation. Visit a gynaecologist for missed periods and the ovarian cyst. Recommended investigations: Pregnancy test (if applicable), CBC, LFT, TSH, prolactin, and dedicated pelvic ultrasound. Additional hormonal tests may be required. Abdominal TB: Continue specialist follow-up and prescribed treatment if already diagnosed. Treatment for gallstones depends on symptoms and clinical findings; surgery may be necessary in symptomatic cases.
Health Tips
Avoid excessively oily or fatty foods if they trigger pain, maintain hydration, and eat balanced meals. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, jaundice, fainting, or sudden severe pelvic pain. Most small ovarian cysts are benign, and gallstones are treatable. However, five months without periods and possible gallbladder inflammation should not be ignored. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Missing your period for 5 months along with a 27 mm simple cyst near your right ovary usually points to a hormonal disruption, and abdominal TB along with its treatment can itself affect your cycle, not just an ovarian problem on its own. A simple cyst this size often settles on its own over a few cycles.
Next Steps
See a gynaecologist for a hormone panel and a repeat pelvic ultrasound in 6 to 8 weeks to recheck the cyst and your left ovary, which wasn't fully seen this time. Keep following up with your treating doctor for the gallstone and TB.
Health Tips
Come in sooner if you get heavy bleeding, severe pelvic pain, fever, or your periods don't return once your TB treatment is complete.
