I have a ovarian cysts that is causing a lot of pain doctor has said he will refer me to get it drained when its drained can it come back?

Depends what it is: If it is a functional cyst it likely will not come back although it could, if it is not functional (endometrioma, inclusion cyst, benign tumor etc....) they will recur about 85%-100% of the time. It's important to have at least a very good guess what it "is" before draining.
