Q: I am writing with a lot of hope. I am in dire distress after coming to know of the formation of a cyst in my ovary. I am only 24 and unmarried. I have come to know that it is incurable and operation is the only remedy. But it will put an end to all my dreams. Isn't there any other remedy? Can it be treated in your clinic? For your information I reside in Calcutta, West Bengal. I will be very much obliged if you answer my queries. Thank You.
