Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Yes, this is the only option. Cysts are in most cases benign and sometimes these may cause pain and nausea. But we always recommend surgical removal as laparoscopic cholecystectomy since in future such cysts may become malignant and then this is problematic. Surgery is simple and routine today so you should not be concerned- Wish you good health. Kindly regards
