Ovarian Cyst: Diagnosis and Treatment Explained by Gynecologist

An ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that develops either on the surface or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and often resolve on their own, but some can cause symptoms like pelvic pain, bloating, or irregular menstrual cycles. In more severe cases, they can lead to complications such as cyst rupture or ovarian torsion. Common treatments for ovarian cysts include monitoring through regular ultrasounds, hormone therapy to prevent new cysts from forming, or surgery in cases where the cyst is large, persistent, or causing severe symptoms. Early diagnosis and proper management are key to preventing complications.
