Ovarian Cysts – Diagnosis and Treatment
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries. These cysts are usually benign and can often develop without causing any symptoms, disappearing on their own over time. However, in some cases, they may grow and lead to pain, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal imbalances.
Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts
- Pain or a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
- Menstrual irregularities (delays, heavy bleeding, or irregular periods)
- Abdominal bloating or a feeling of fullness
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Frequent urination or bowel problems (due to pressure from large cysts)
Diagnostic Methods
Ovarian cysts are usually detected through gynecological examination and ultrasound. To evaluate the nature of the cyst, blood tests (such as tumor markers like CA-125), MRI, or CT scans may be used.
Treatment Options
- Monitoring: Small and asymptomatic cysts often resolve on their own within 2–3 months.
- Medication: Hormonal treatments such as birth control pills can help prevent the formation of cysts.
- Surgical Intervention: In cases of large, painful, or potentially cancerous cysts, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open surgery may be required.
