The cysts can and cannot be benign, and the problem is that one cysts becomes another, and another, ect until the woman has PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome).
The real problem is when those cysts burst, it is very horrendous for the woman because they can quickly and easily cause the woman to become anemic.
A lot depends on the doctor if they feel that the woman needs to have such an invasive procedure or not. The reason why they don't want her to do this is because they go into your uterus through either under your stomach or the area above your pelvic bone. Either way, the stitches remain there for 6 weeks and you may/may not continue to bleed and it's a constant thing of making sure that the area is clean, yadda, yadda, yadda. Not to mention the pain and the inability to bend down, over, around, you know, no swinging from chandliers (?) or vacuuming or picking up children, etc. It does pretty much slow you down.

I know what PCOS is and have had ovarian cysts with both pregnancies. I believe the dermiod cyst that was diagnosed during my last pregnancy is still there. It didn't seem to be an issue with my OB and I can only kind of feel it every once in a while. I was under the impression that if my OB felt it needed to be removed, it would be done laparascopically with no lasting effects to me or my ovary. My question was more of a rhetorical, thinking out loud thing...
