What is an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cysts are solid or fluid-filled sacs formed on or within one or both ovaries- a pair of small, oval-shaped female reproductive organs present in the lower abdomen area. Every month ovaries are responsible for releasing an egg and producing female sex hormones- progesterone and estrogen. They have a role in childbirth, the menstrual cycle, and female breast growth.

Ovarian cysts are of various kinds and can be of different sizes ranging from half an inch to 4 inches or even more. They are commonly found in women of reproductive age.

What causes an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cysts are commonly functional types like Follicular cysts and Corpus luteum cysts. The former kind occurs when there is no ovulation and it continues to grow inside the ovary and the latter type happens after the egg is released but there is no dissolution of the sac around the egg.

  • Endometrioma (or chocolate cysts)- These are dark-colored cysts filled with old blood and tissues that resemble the uterine lining. They are found in women suffering from endometriosis.

Problematic ovarian cysts can even be caused by:

  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

  • Non-benign growths

  • Pregnancy

  • Severe pelvic infection caused by Chlamydia- It is responsible for a type of cyst that can be called an abscess.

  • Ovarian cancer (in rare cases).

  • Dull or sharp pain or pressure in the pelvic area that may come or go or be persistent. Usually, experienced during menses.

  • Bloating during the period (if cysts have grown larger)

  • Sudden weight gain

  • Tender breasts

  • Unexplained washroom troubles

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding (rarely)

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Fever

  • Trouble conceiving a child.

How is an Ovarian Cyst treated?

Ovarian cysts can be treated based on your age, type of cyst, and your overall health. In the case of functional ovarian cysts, generally, no treatment is required. Some birth control pills can help stop ovulation and prevent the further formation of such cysts. Lifestyle modifications like exercise, proper diet, and stress management also help out in many cases. But, if ovarian cysts are of abnormal size (more than 2.5 inches in diameter), persistently growing, suspected to be malignant, and causing pelvic pain or discomfort and health complications, surgery is necessary to eliminate them.

  • Laparoscopy- Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi, performs Ovarian Cyst Surgery In Mumbai.
