A member asked:
If you had a large right ovarian cyst and you got rid of it could it come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sadly, yes: The ovary can grow a cyst at any time, and having had one cyst does put you at increased risk for developing another. This isn't to say that you are at increased risk for cancer, only for making cysts. Likely the doctors removed the cyst wall from the ovary, and that helps to prevent a recurrence. I hope you are cyst free!
