"Many at times women come to us with a sonography report showing that there is an ovarian cyst. So a few take home messages for you. Number one, ovarian cyst are very common amongst women. Number two, most oftenly ovarian cysts are not cancerous. There are some very specific tests done to find out if a given cyst can be treated very easily. There are few cysts which are not cancerous and they need to be treated surgically and in today’s era these treatments are done laparoscopically, that means we do not need to do a major surgery , open up the abdomen etc. So recovery is much faster and we send patients home immediately on the second day of surgery"
