I've been diagnosed with a chocolate cyst in my left ovary and I'm not sure what surgery to go for should I just get the cyst removed or opt for a hysterectomy too? I'm worried about how this might affect me long-term and what the best option would be for my health

Cyst removal alone is usually sufficient for chocolate cysts. Hysterectomy is rarely necessary unless there are multiple complications or future fertility is not a concern.
