I had a cyst scraped off when I was 16. They put me out and it was an inter-vaginal surgery-- it didn't hurt, besides some cramping and a little straining while urinating for a couple weeks afterward. They can also remove fibroids the same way with minimal trauma.
I had a cyst rupture when I was 14, and THAT hurt like hell. Once it had ruptured, they couldn't do anything for me. So I'd take the surgery any day over that. They've controlled the cysts form re-forming since then with birth control, which is also how the endo has been controlled.
