Dear doctor, Is it necessary to have surgery to drain a cyst in the womb?

-

Cysts associated with the pelvic area in women are mostly ovarian cysts.

The causes vary. Treatment is mainly dependant on the size of the cyst and how much discomfort is associated with it.

Smaller ones usually require no surgery.

Some larger ones can be managed with hormonal treatment.
