A member asked:
Is a 6cm by 7cm ovarian simple cyst classified as a large cyst? will a cyst that size require surgery if its getting bigger despite taking medicine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: We usually consider cysts to be large if they are greater than 8 cm but that does vary some from institution to institution ( some set the line at 6 cm). Simple cysts are almost always benign and can be observed unless they are symptomatic. If they are enlarging, however, surgery may become necessary. Hope that helps.
