Ovarian Cyst
Hi,
My wife has been diagnosed with a multilocular right ovarian cyst that is 10.5cm in diameter.The ultrasono mentions that some small septation have been seen. Also, with a possibility of endometriosis.
First, is this a major danger for her health?
Does she have to go under surgery?
Does her ovaries have to be taken out of her body?
She is 22 years old.

I had a cyst removed that was large enough that it had damaged my right ovary & fallopian tube, so they also removed those, but recovery was not bad. (It seems like your wife's cyst isn't large enough that it would necessarily have damaged anything, though.) Laparascopic surgeries are even outpatient-type deals! Her GYN will be able to tell you what you should do, so look for a good GYN if you don't have one already.
I doubt she'd have to get an ovary removed, but even if she does, don't worry about fertility. The left one will take right over. :)
