A member asked:

If i have a large simple ovarian cyst on my left ovary can it be removed with medication? does it lead to infertility? will my ovaries have to be removed? what does simple mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cysts form: every time a person ovulates, larger (greater than 4 or 5 cm), are more rare, can be just fluid filled(simple), or complex(fluid/solid). Simple cysts usually resolve over a 4 - 6 week time frame, sometimes with medications to help. If not resolved or complex, surgery is often required. Removal of the cyst or ovary is decided on a case by case basis.
