My sister's been having pain in her breast for quite a while now, and there are these thick boils in both of them. It's really concerning and we're not sure what to do. Could you please guide us on where we should go for treatment or what steps we need to take next?

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?

You need to be cleared of dermoid cyst before planning for pregnancy, as it may pose some problem later. Laparoscopy is the best option. Via laparoscopy we can remove small as well as huge dermoid cyst also taking precautions against spillage of contents. Operative part headache, you can leave it to Gynaecologist. Just go ahead with the surgery and have a safe pregnancy ahead. Good luck
