My doctor didn't tell me to have it removed. I am scheduled to visit him again next week for the pathologists report (I think that is what it is called). I am really afrraid of what is happening down there. So much so that it is effecting my ability to form any type of sexual relationship. As well, after the biopsy, I have been experiencing more pain in the ovaries. Frankly I am afraid. What's worse is that I can get no concrete answers about anything. I have also been told that my uterus is badly infected (from the PID I had when I was 17). Is it possible that the cyst on my ovary could reesult in anything besides breaking and fluid build-up?

Thanks for the answer. It is very upsetting that as a woman, I have no udea about how my body should work.
