Cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an Ovarian Cyst and it is quite a dramatic treatment. When performed correctly, a Cystectomy will leave the ovaries intact, although the Ovarian Cyst itself will be removed.
Women suffering from cystitis and bladder cancer are the most likely recipients of the Cystectomy surgery procedure. But if the cysts is cancerous, it is possible that the ovaries will also be removed.
An Oophorectomy - removal of one or both ovaries - will usually be performed only as a last resort when the ovarian cysts are cancerous, as it is a very serious procedure. People in receipt of this surgery will have their body’s estrogen production and regulation functions curtailed. As a consequence, a treatment of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) will normally be required.
In the case of non-cancerous Ovarian Cysts, there are alternative treatments to surgery. The alternatives are sometimes successful in not only preventing Ovarian Cysts to grow in the first place, but can also make the disappear completely. Naturally, we are only talking about non-cancerous cases here. Cancerous cases always involve surgery.
A Common Tablet Containing
A common tablet containing oestrogen and progestogen (AKA ‘The Pill’) is used in the fight to cure Ovarian Cysts.
Many medics prescribe the birth pill not to do away with the current cyst, but to head off future ones from forming. The hormones in the pill can prevent cysts from growing any larger. This happens because the patient can miss a few periods.

If the formation of Ovarian Cysts is a family trait, or they occur frequently, then taking the birth pill is maybe something to try.
