Caution: Homeopsthics should not cause any problems. If her symptoms are bad enough for her doc to suggest surgery it should probably be considered.

Ovarian cystectomy: The surgical procedure to remove a dermoid cyst is called an ovarian cystectomy. This is a fairly simple procedure which can be done laparoscopically.

Informed consent: The decision for surgery will be your daughter's, but if she has an ovarian mass that is causing serious pain and she may have endometriosis as well, surgery would be the wise course.

Let me advice you: A dermoid cyst is a saclike growth that is present at birth, but may not be noticeable until much later. It contains structures such as hair, fluid, teeth or skin glands that can be found on or in the skin. No homeopathic treatment for that most likely need to have surgery.

Follow Drs Advice: Can not advice you without more information.Like the site of the cyst and location along with the severity of symptoms and any other associated condition you should follow the advice of the treating doctors and if you have doubts get second opinion from a second specialist most of these cysts are benign and there is no risk of cancer. If you have faith in hmepathic treatment you can try, it or md.
