That's good news, right? If your doctor saw something wrong, there'd be a need for immediate treatment. If you are concerned though or develop symptoms like unbearable pain or fevers, go to the ER. Good luck!

Ovarian cysts are mostly benign, but there are riskier in older women. From what I have been told, in the case of older women, they might remove the whole ovary to avoid regrowth of the cyst. If discovered to be cancerous, they will remove both oavaries and fallopian tubes. It also depends on what type of cyst you have. Were you told? Talk to your doctor about how he/she plans on approaching this. Good luck!
