About ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on an ovary. They're very common, and most are harmless and go away on their own, especially those linked to the menstrual cycle.

How we know this

NHS RTT data, July 2026.

Gynaecology as a whole, not ovarian cyst removal alone.

Wait or Pay is independent and is not the NHS. We show the routes and let you choose. Nothing here is medical advice.

How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?

Your free dashboard compares all four paths for ovarian cyst removal: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
