Ovarian Cyst Treatment

Understanding Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid or semi-solid material that develop in the ovaries. Most ovarian cysts are benign and occur as part of the natural ovulation process.

In many women, cysts may form and resolve without any symptoms. However, when cysts grow larger or persist for longer than expected, they can cause discomfort and require medical evaluation. Ovarian cysts can vary in size, from small cysts that are barely noticeable to larger ones that may cause visible abdominal swelling or pressure in the pelvic region.

Although most ovarian cysts are harmless, regular monitoring and timely treatment are important to prevent complications such as rupture, ovarian torsion, or persistent pain.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

Here are the most common types of ovarian cysts:

Early diagnosis and proper medical evaluation can help manage symptoms effectively and prevent potential complications.

Advanced Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts

At Cocoon Hospital, diagnosing ovarian cysts involves a thorough assessment of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination.

Our specialists use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to accurately identify the type, size, and location of the cyst.

Diagnostic tests may include the following:

• Pelvic examination
• Ultrasound imaging
• Transvaginal ultrasound
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• CT scan in specific cases
• Blood tests, including CA-125 (when needed)
• Pregnancy test (to rule out pregnancy-related cysts)
• Laparoscopy for further evaluation in complex cases

These diagnostic methods help doctors determine whether the cyst is harmless, requires monitoring, or needs medical or surgical treatment.

Treatment Options for Ovarian Cysts at Cocoon Hospital

Not all ovarian cysts require treatment. Many small functional cysts resolve naturally within a few menstrual cycles without medical intervention.

Treatment becomes necessary if the cyst:

• Causes persistent pain or discomfort
• Continues to grow in size
• Does not disappear over time
• Leads to complications such as rupture or torsion
• Raises suspicion of abnormal or complex cysts

The treatment plan depends on several factors, including the size and type of cyst, symptoms, age, reproductive plans, and overall health.

Our specialists provide individualised treatment plans designed to ensure both safety and long-term reproductive health.

Lifestyle and Medical Management

For mild cases, doctors may recommend conservative management and symptom relief measures.

Watchful Waiting: Small cysts may be monitored with periodic ultrasound examinations to check whether they resolve naturally.

Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills may be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent new cysts from forming.

Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory medications may help relieve pelvic pain and discomfort.

Lifestyle Support: Maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress, and regular medical follow-ups support overall reproductive health.

Advanced Treatments

If ovarian cysts are large, persistent, or causing complications, surgical treatment may be recommended.

Laparoscopic Cyst Removal (Cystectomy): A minimally invasive keyhole surgery used to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary.

Laparotomy: In rare cases involving very large or complex cysts, a more extensive surgical procedure may be required.

Oophorectomy: Removal of the affected ovary may be recommended if the cyst severely damages ovarian tissue or raises concerns.

Treatment for Underlying Conditions: In cases where cysts are linked to conditions such as endometriosis or hormonal imbalance, targeted treatment may also be provided.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques used at Cocoon Hospital ensure faster recovery, minimal scarring, and a reduced hospital stay.
