A 99mm (almost 4 inches) chocolate cyst during pregnancy, while large, doesn't automatically require surgery. Your doctor will assess the cyst's growth, your symptoms, and other factors to determine the best course of action. Generally, cysts larger than 4cm are often recommended for removal, but other factors like your symptoms and pregnancy stage play a role.
