Ovarian Cyst Treatment in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad

Ovarian Cyst Evaluation & Treatment in Indirapuram

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs on or in the ovary. Most are 'functional' cysts that form as part of the menstrual cycle and disappear on their own within a few weeks. A smaller number — dermoid cysts, endometriomas, cystadenomas — persist and may need treatment. Dr. Bhavya Rathore evaluates ovarian cysts in Indirapuram with a clear approach: identify the type, decide whether it needs treatment, and if so, treat it in a way that protects the ovary.

Overview

Ultrasound is the key test. A simple, thin-walled cyst under 5 cm in a woman of reproductive age is almost always functional and is re-scanned after 6–8 weeks. Cysts that are large, persistent, have solid areas or septations, cause pain, or appear after menopause need further evaluation with blood markers and sometimes MRI. Laparoscopic cystectomy removes the cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue.

Symptoms

Often none — found on a scan done for another reason
Dull pelvic ache or pressure on one side
Bloating or a feeling of fullness
Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
Irregular periods
Sudden severe pain with nausea — possible torsion or rupture, an emergency

Types of ovarian cysts

Functional cysts — follicular and corpus luteum cysts; resolve on their own
Endometrioma ('chocolate cyst') — associated with endometriosis
Dermoid cyst (teratoma) — contains hair, fat or other tissue; usually removed
Cystadenoma — can grow large; removed surgically
Polycystic ovaries — multiple small follicles, part of PCOS, not true cysts requiring removal

When to see a gynecologist urgently

Sudden, severe one-sided pelvic pain
Pain with fever or vomiting
Fainting, rapid breathing or heavy bleeding

Evaluation and treatment

Transvaginal ultrasound; repeat scan after one or two cycles for simple cysts
Tumour markers (CA-125 and others) for complex cysts or post-menopausal cysts
MRI when the ultrasound is inconclusive
Watchful waiting for functional cysts; hormonal pills in selected cases
Laparoscopic cystectomy — cyst removal preserving the ovary — for persistent, symptomatic or suspicious cysts
Emergency laparoscopy for torsion or ruptured cyst with bleeding

Frequently asked questions

Do all ovarian cysts need surgery?

No. The majority are functional and resolve on their own. Surgery is reserved for persistent, large, painful or suspicious cysts.

Will removing a cyst affect my fertility?

Laparoscopic cystectomy is designed to remove the cyst while leaving the ovary intact. Some reduction in reserve can occur with endometriomas, which is why timing and technique matter.

Is an ovarian cyst cancer?

The vast majority are benign, especially before menopause. Features on ultrasound and blood tests help identify the small number that need further assessment.
