A member asked:

Is there any chance a obgyn would not suggest surgery for a 15cmx8.4cmx15.7cm pelvic cyst ? the cyst causes excessive pain daily .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: That is definitely a large cyst. And especially if it's causing you daily symptoms and/or pain, then most any surgeon is going to recommend removal. If you met an ob/gyn who said you should not have surgery, and consider seeing a different ob/gyn. As most would recommend laparoscopic removal of that.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
