Do you always need surgery for a cyst?

Question

or can medication drain it?

Answer 1

If medication and drainage fail to reduce the cyst or you are still symptomatic then it will need to be surgically removed. Depends where the cyst is and depends if it's internal or external. Sometimes your GP can do it.

Answer 2

It all depends on the type of cyst and its location. Some cysts respond well to antibiotic treatments and other medicines, some can be left alone as they cause no problem, or may be too dangerous to remove, and some need to be removed surgically

Answer 3

it depends on the cyst it's self. If it's causing pain or is cancerous, ususally you would have to have surgery to get it out of there pronto.

Answer 4

depends where it is, you can get it lanced or have keyhole surgery.  

Answer 5

I have a cyst too, dont worry

depending on the size or if its wrapped around something your doctor may want to remove it, if not your gyno will put you on birth control and it will go away,

But if it gets so painfull you cant walk then h**l remove it ASAP.
