Ovarian cyst 10x11 inches. Should I get surgery.

I went into the urgent care department and found I have a cyst of 10x11 inches on the right ovary and a smaller one on the left. They stated it was best to see an obgyn asap! and since I was feeling weaker go to the ER. I went in and the OBGYN there was very rude she states that she didn't know why they sent me there and how surgery is risky as in dyeing for anesthesia and scraping the uterus may cause infertility (i don't know why they need to scrape the uterus) She told me that i have to just suck it up and sent me home.

I had a cyst before not this big and I got surgery 2 days later luckily they saved my ovary. I keep having heaving bleeding with more blood clots and now I am feeling a mild pain on the right side and a little on the left. Should I go back to the ER and see another OBGYN? She just didn't seem to care much.

You may want to search for a Gyno/Oncologist.  I found that mine was more preventative than my (ex-)gyno, while still working to preserve my fertility.

Go to another obgyn ASAP! it could be benign, but what if its not, you're losing time! If you can't afford another gyno, go back to ER , explain them the situation and they will help you! Please don't delay, especially if you have symptoms.
