Ovarian Cysts – Symptoms, Diagnosis & Modern Treatment in Thane
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovary. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and go away on their own, but some can cause pain, menstrual irregularities, or complications like rupture or torsion. Early evaluation ensures timely treatment and preserves fertility.
🔍 What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts vary in type:
- Functional cysts – form during the menstrual cycle (most common)
- Dermoid cysts – contain tissue like hair, skin, or fat
- Endometriomas – linked with endometriosis
- Cystadenomas – develop from ovarian tissue, may grow large
Most cysts are benign, but rarely they can be cancerous.
⚠️ Causes & Risk Factors
- Hormonal imbalance (e.g., irregular periods)
- Pregnancy (sometimes cysts form during early pregnancy)
- Endometriosis
- Severe pelvic infections
- Previous ovarian cyst history
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
🩺 Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts
Some cysts are asymptomatic. Common signs include:
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Bloating or abdominal swelling
- Pain during intercourse
- Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Nausea or vomiting (if cyst ruptures)
- Difficulty urinating or bowel movement (if large cyst presses organs)
- Sudden severe abdominal pain (torsion or rupture – medical emergency)
🧪 Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts
- Pelvic Ultrasound – main imaging tool
- Blood Tests – hormone levels, CA-125 (if malignancy suspected)
- CT Scan / MRI – for complex or large cysts
- Physical Examination – checking for tenderness or abdominal mass
💊 Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type, size, and symptoms:
1️⃣ Observation
- Small, asymptomatic functional cysts often disappear in 1–2 menstrual cycles
- Regular ultrasound monitoring
2️⃣ Medication
- Hormonal contraceptives to prevent new cyst formation
- Pain management with analgesics
3️⃣ Surgical Options
- Laparoscopic cyst removal (cystectomy) – minimally invasive, preserves ovary
- Oophorectomy (rare) – removal of ovary if cyst is large or suspicious
- Emergency surgery if cyst ruptures or twists
4️⃣ Lifestyle & Monitoring
- Maintain healthy weight and diet
- Track menstrual cycle
- Regular gynecological checkups
⚠️ When to See a Doctor Immediately
- Sudden, severe pelvic or abdominal pain
- Fever, vomiting, or fainting
- Rapid abdominal swelling
- Heavy bleeding
- Signs of shock (low blood pressure, rapid pulse)
These may indicate ruptured or twisted cyst, requiring urgent surgery.
