I don't know if this will answer all your questions but here is an article you can read from this site.
It was written by Merely Me, a writer and community leader for this site,titled, I Have an Ovarian Cyst. What Does This Mean?
I am not a doctor and don't believe there is anyone here who can give medical advice. Specific questions about hormone replacement and the need for surgery should be discussed with your doctor, even get a second opinion if you wish. There is nothing wrong with that and helps confirm the first doctor, or gives you other options.
These are important questions which you should write down and ask your doctor to address. They are most familiar with your medical history, conditions, medications, alternatives, and current health.
There is also an interview Merely Me conducted with a gynecologist about ovarian cancer that I'll give just for general information, called, A Gynecologist Answers your Questions about Ovarian Cancer.
Here is one more article from the Mayo Clinic about Ovarian Cysts.
I hope something here helps and wish you the best of luck.
