A member asked:

I have a cyst on my ovary thats 6 centimeters should i have it removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would depend: On the nature if it, let's assume it's "simple" with just fluid, no pain. At 5-8 cm it can be watched. It's likely benign. If its not simple then issues change. Good luck.
