A pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound performed in the Radiology Department of a hospital (not in a gynecologist's office) should determine with a high degree of probability what type of cyst you have. 99% of ovarian cysts are benign. There are many common ovarian cysts that do not need to be removed. When there is a cyst that causes sufficient symptoms to have it removed, a cystectomy (removal of the cysts, leaving the ovary intact) can be performed, if the the doctor has the skill.
If you would like more information about ovarian cysts you can contact the HERS Foundation by filling out the contact form at http://www.hersfoundation.org, or you can call HERS (the phone number is on the website).
I also suggest that you read the new book, THE H WORD, everything you ever wanted to know about hysterectomy.
