My aunt, who is 75, has told my mom that she (my aunt) has a burst ovarian cyst and is being vague about how this will be treated. For some reason, I assumed that only menstruating women get ovarian cysts. Can one of the MDs on the board clue me in here? Also, she said something to my mom about needing a D&C. I know enough anatomy to know that involves the uterus and has nothing to do with ovaries. Could the cyst indicate ovarian cancer? Thanks.
