Hi anjaandil
Thanks so much for your post.
Your questions are not ones we can answer unfortunately. No-one can make a decision for surgery but you.
Here are some suggestions for you:
Have symptoms changed for you recently? Why are you thinking about this now?
Make an appointment with a doctor to discuss the pros and cons of having this surgery. What might happen if you do have surgery? What might happen if you don't?
Your condition is not a fatal one so if you have no symptoms now, it may be something to live with and monitor. However, if you are in a lot of pain, surgery may help. It all depends on your kind of cyst and your health in general.
We have a very large thread I'd like you to take a look at and also feel free to join our Group on this topic
