“What are the treatment options for ovarian cysts?”

Most ovarian cysts are normal and healthy. Every month there is a cyst in one ovary that contains an egg. The cyst grows for two weeks after a period and then it releases the egg. That cyst then goes away and another cyst grows in the other ovary. So most of the time the cysts go away just with observation.

Other cyst that show up in the ovaries may not be normal. These are frequently treated with medications and hormones to make them go away... If this does not work then some times surgery is necessary.
