Ovarian Cyst: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Safe Surgery Options
Best Guidance by Dr. Ankur Bhanushali – Laparoscopic & General Surgeon in Thane
Ovarian cysts are extremely common in women of reproductive age. Most are harmless and resolve on their own—but some can cause pain, complications, or need timely treatment. Understanding symptoms and knowing when to seek help can prevent future problems.
This guide explains everything about ovarian cysts, including symptoms, diagnosis, and safe modern surgical options available in Thane.
⭐ What Is an Ovarian Cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or inside the ovary. They can be:
- Functional cysts (most common, usually harmless)
- Dermoid cysts
- Endometriotic cysts
- Cystadenomas
- Polycystic ovaries
While most are benign, some may grow large or cause complications.
⭐ Common Causes of Ovarian Cysts
- Hormonal imbalance
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Endometriosis
- Pregnancy
- Pelvic infections
- PCOD/PCOS
- Family history of cysts
⭐ Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
Many ovarian cysts show no symptoms, but these signs indicate you must consult a specialist:
- Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
- Pain during periods
- Pain during intercourse
- Bloating or fullness in the abdomen
- Irregular periods
- Frequent urination
- Nausea or vomiting (may indicate torsion)
- Sudden sharp pain (urgent medical attention needed)
If the pain is severe or sudden, it can be due to ovarian torsion or cyst rupture, which is a medical emergency.
⭐ How Ovarian Cysts Are Diagnosed
Your doctor may recommend:
- Pelvic ultrasound (primary test)
- Blood tests (CA-125 in selected cases)
- Hormone level tests
- CT/MRI (if needed)
Early diagnosis ensures a smooth and safe recovery.
⭐ When Does an Ovarian Cyst Need Treatment?
Treatment depends on size, type, symptoms, and patient age.
You may need treatment if:
- Cyst > 5 cm
- Severe or persistent pain
- Repeated cyst formation
- Endometriotic or dermoid cyst
- Suspicion of cancer (rare)
- Cyst causing torsion
⭐ Safe Treatment & Surgery Options
1. Observation & Medication
- Pain relievers
- Hormonal balancing medications
- Follow-up ultrasound every 3–6 months
2. Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Removal (Preferred Option)
A minimally invasive surgery done through tiny cuts.
Benefits:

3. Open Surgery (Rarely Needed)
Used only for large or suspicious cysts.
