Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovaries. They are a common condition among women, particularly during their reproductive years. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and often disappear naturally without requiring treatment. However, some cysts may grow larger, cause discomfort, or lead to complications such as ovarian torsion or rupture. Common symptoms include pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, irregular menstrual cycles, painful periods, and discomfort during intercourse.
In certain cases, ovarian cysts may not produce noticeable symptoms and are discovered during routine pelvic examinations or ultrasound scans. Treatment depends on the cyst's size, type, symptoms, and the patient's overall health. Management options may include regular monitoring, medication, or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery when necessary. Early diagnosis and appropriate medical care are essential for preventing complications and maintaining reproductive health. Consulting an experienced gynaecologist helps ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
