Question: How is a ovarian cyst treated!? Does it have to be surgically removed or biopsied!?
Answers:
Hi Serialmom,
Most ovarian cysts are "functional" cysts and when they rupture, are reabsorbed by your body!.
Your surgeon can do a laparoscopy (the "belly button" incisions); take a biopsy, send it to the lab immediately (called a "Frozen section) and receive the pathology results while you are still in the operating room!. This will tell him/her if more surgery is needed!. I hope this helps you!. I'm always here if you need me! Good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most of the time they go away on their own, but sometimes they need to be drained via surgery (I forget what the cutoff is for size though, sorry)!. Call your doctor and ask!. I've had cysts for years and none of mine have ever been large enough to need to be drained or removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It really depends!. Some cysts go away on their own and some need to be removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sometimes they will dry up on their own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
