A member asked:

Had a 6 cm teratoma removed 9 months ago. it along w ovary removed. now have 1 on other side. will it reduce chances of fertility if i leave it there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not wise: A teratoma is an ovarian tumor, and not a functional cyst. They should be removed. Unfortunately, any ovarian surgery can reduce the chances of fertility.
