Surgery
If your cyst is large, painful, solid or filled with debris, your doctor may suggest
that it be surgically removed, especially if the cyst is irregular in shape and
persistently growing. Cystectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing
the cyst without removing the ovary. It is suggested only in cases where the
cyst is not cancerous. Occasionally, a doctor may elect to remove the
affected ovary while leaving another ovary intact so you will still be able to
ovulate and maintain a normal hormone cycle.
There are two main surgical procedures: Laparoscopy and Laparotomy.
Laparoscopy is suggested when your cyst looks benign on the ultrasound
and is rather small in size. This surgical procedure is done under general
anesthesia, where a small incision is made above or below the navel. An
instrument to remove the cyst is then inserted into the abdomen.
Laparotomy is usually performed if the cyst looks suspect and is large in size.
This procedure involves general anesthesia and a sample cyst tissue will
often be taken to diagnose cancerous growth. If the cyst is cancerous, the
doctor may completely remove the ovary and other surrounding tissues that
may be affected.
Important note: while there are rare instances when a surgical procedure is
necessary, ovarian cancer is extremely rare and in most cases watchful
waiting along with following the dietary, detoxification and lifestyle suggestions
outlined in this guide have been proven to be extremely effective in eliminating
ovarian cysts and PCOS symptoms quickly and safely.

hormonal/metabolic condition and thus are most likely not the cause of your
problems. Removing the cyst or the ovary or prescribing estrogen (estrogen
given to women prior to menopause will actually cause their cysts to grow), is
