Can ovarian cysts be treated with laser?

Patient's question:

Last month, during an ultrasound, I found a small cyst in my ovary. The doctor at the time said I needed to undergo further tests. The tests revealed it was benign, but they still recommended its removal. Currently, laser treatment is the best option. Tomorrow, I have to have the surgery, and I'm still feeling a bit sad and worried. How is laser treatment for ovarian cysts performed?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts should be treated through laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery causes less damage and allows for quicker recovery. However, in most cases, if the cysts identified during a careful examination are less than 5 centimeters, surgical treatment is not necessarily required. Of course, having ovarian cysts can be difficult, mainly because there is a possibility that the cysts may develop cancer. Most ovarian cysts are caused by inflammation, and anti-inflammatory medication can be taken first to treat them.
