Ovarian Cyst Treatment

Ovarian Cyst Treatment In Pimpri Chinchwad

Ovarian cysts are sacs that can contain solid or fluid material, forming either within or on the ovary's surface. These cysts may be functional, often resolving on their own, or non-functional, which require medical treatment. At SunMed Hospital our experts offer effective ovarian cyst treatment in Pimpri Chinchwad.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are broadly classified into functional and non-functional categories, each encompassing various subtypes:

Functional Cysts

  • iconFollicular Cyst: These develop when follicles fail to rupture and grow during the menstrual cycle.
  • iconCorpus Luteum Cyst: Occurs when a follicle releases an egg but reseals and fills with fluid or blood instead of dissolving.

Non-Functional Cysts

  • iconDermoid Cysts: Rare cysts containing ovarian tissue along with hair, fat, and other materials derived from embryonic cells.
  • iconCystadenomas: These are sac-like structures on the ovarian surface, typically filled with mucus or watery material. They may be benign or, in some cases, cancerous.
  • iconEndometriomas: Resulting from endometriosis, these cysts are filled with a chocolate-colored fluid. They can cause severe abdominal pain during menstruation.
  • iconCancerous Cysts: Contain both solid and cystic areas and may spread cancer cells to other body parts.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Most ovarian cysts are asymptomatic due to their small size. However, larger cysts may present with symptoms such as:

  • iconMild to severe lower abdominal pain
  • iconAbdominal fullness or bloating
  • iconMenstrual irregularities
  • iconNausea or vomiting
  • iconPain during sexual intercourse
  • iconBowel issues like constipation or diarrhea

Warning Signs Requiring Immediate Attention:

  • iconSudden, severe abdominal pain
  • iconAbdominal pain with fever
  • iconAbdominal pain accompanied by vomiting

Causes of Ovarian Cysts

Functional Cysts:

These arise due to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Follicles that fail to release an egg during ovulation may grow into functional cysts. Typically harmless, they often disappear within two to three cycles.

Non-Functional Cysts:

These are unrelated to hormonal changes and may indicate an underlying medical condition.

Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are often detected during routine check-ups or pelvic examinations. Depending on the suspected type, your doctor may recommend tests such as:

  • iconHormone tests (CA-125, Beta-hCG, LDH, AFP, Inhibin)
  • iconImaging tests (USG TVS/Abdomen, CECT Pelvis, MRI Pelvis, PET CT Scan)

Treatment of Ovarian Cysts

Treatment depends on the cyst type and size. Functional cysts usually resolve naturally and do not require treatment. However, recurring or significantly large cysts may necessitate medical intervention. Non-functional cysts always require treatment.

Treatment Options

Medications: Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, may be prescribed to prevent recurrence.

Surgery:

  • iconLaparoscopic Surgery: Involves small (5 mm) incisions in the abdominal wall and the use of fine instruments to remove the cyst.
  • iconLaparotomy Surgery: Used for large or cancerous cysts, this involves a transverse or vertical abdominal incision to remove the affected area.

Risks Associated with Ovarian Cysts

  • iconOvarian cyst torsion
  • iconRupture of ovarian cysts
  • iconInfections associated with ovarian cysts

Recovery After Treatment

The long-term outlook for women with ovarian cysts is generally positive. Most cysts resolve within months. However, they may recur in premenopausal women or those with hormonal imbalances.
