A 26-year-old female patient came to OPD of Dr. BRKR Govt ayurvedic college and hospital, Hyderabad with complaints of amenorrhoea for 2 months, scanty menstrual bleeding, lower backache, constipation since last six months. She was advised USG whole abdomen and the findings suggested of left simple ovarian cyst measuring 4.9cms x 3.3cms.
