A member asked:
I am 54 years old with a painful ovarian cyst for 4 years now. ultrasounds show it is simple. does it need to be removed? i am not menopausal yet.

Maybe: You do not mention how large or small it is. A large simple cyst can be painful just as a small one. If it does not respond to treatment and it is still painful, there may not be that many options left other than take it out.
