Ovarian Cyst

Ovarian Cyst

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on or within the ovaries, and they are a common occurrence in women of reproductive age. Most ovarian cysts are non-cancerous and cause little to no symptoms. However, they can vary in size and sometimes lead to discomfort or complications.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

• Functional Cysts
• Dermoid Cysts
• Endometriomas
• Cystadenomas
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Symptoms

• Many ovarian cysts are asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally during a pelvic exam or imaging test.
• Symptoms, when present, can include pelvic pain or aching, bloating, pressure on the bladder or rectum, and changes in menstrual patterns.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

• Diagnosis typically involves a pelvic exam, imaging studies (ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests.
• Small, non-cancerous cysts often require no treatment and may resolve on their own over time.
• Birth control pills may be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent the formation of certain types of cysts.
• Surgical intervention may be necessary for larger cysts, persistent cysts, or those causing severe symptoms. This can involve cystectomy (removing the cyst while preserving the ovary) or oophorectomy (removing the entire ovary).

It's important for individuals experiencing symptoms or concerned about ovarian cysts to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. While most ovarian cysts are benign, a thorough assessment ensures appropriate management and monitoring when necessary.
