As I have not yet given birth, can it be removed along with a cesarean section?

Hello, generally speaking, if the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, surgical treatment is recommended. Since your nature is cystic-solid, it is best to have it surgically removed, and the postoperative specimen should be sent for pathology examination.
