Hello,

I have studied your case.

If cyst is small it can be managed consevatively with medication.

If you have persistent pain and large swelling then you may need surgical excision.

Do not worry about rupture of cyst.if on rupture pain has reduced then do nothing.

You can stop warfarin consulting your doctor if there is no other indication.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
