A member asked:

I'm 35 and have a 9cm fluid-filled ovarian cyst that has not resolved in 6+ months. doc wants to remove that ovary. is this the best treatment?

Yes: A cyst that has not resolved in 6 months is abnormal. A cyst that is 9 cm across is very abnormal. Removal is really the only option, other than doing nothing.
