Ovarian cyst treatment in Delhi

The ovaries are a vital part of the female reproductive system, located in the lower abdomen on both sides of the uterus. They are about the size and shape of an almond.

During the reproductive years, the ovaries release eggs each month and produce essential hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

Sometimes, fluid-filled sacs called cysts form inside or on the surface of the ovaries. These cysts are common and usually harmless, often disappearing on their own within a few months. However, if a cyst ruptures, it can cause severe symptoms. Regular pelvic exams are important to detect any potential health issues early.

What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?

Common symptoms of an ovarian cyst are:

  • Pelvic Pain: A constant ache or discomfort in the lower back or thighs, which may come and go with menstruation.
  • Irregular and Painful Periods: Menstrual flow may be lighter or heavier than usual, with increased pain.
  • Pain During Intercourse: Discomfort or pain in the pelvic area during sex.
  • Bowel Issues: Pain while passing stool, feeling pressure on the bowels, or needing to go frequently.

  • Urinary Problems: Trouble emptying the bladder or needing to urinate more often.
  • Hormonal abnormalities: The Production of abnormal hormones, which results in unusual changes like body hair growth or changes in the way your breasts look.

Causes of Ovarian Cysts

The following are the common causes of ovarian cysts:

  • Hormonal Problems: Functional cysts usually go away on their own without treatment. However, they can form due to hormonal imbalances or medications used for ovulation.
  • Endometriosis: Women with endometriosis may develop a type of ovarian cyst called an endometrioma. In this condition, endometrial tissue grows on the ovary, causing pain during periods or intercourse.
  • Pregnancy: Ovarian cysts can form in early pregnancy to support it until the placenta develops. In some cases, the cyst remains after pregnancy and may need to be removed.
  • Severe Pelvic Infections: Infections in the pelvis can spread to the ovaries or fallopian tubes, leading to cyst formation.

Various Types of Ovarian Cysts

  • Follicular cysts: It is the most common type of ovarian cyst that develops due to follicle growth during the menstrual cycle.
  • Corpus luteum cysts: When pregnancy doesn’t occur, this corpus luteum (found inside the ovary) breaks down to disappear. However, it can also be filled with blood or fluid to persist as an ovarian cyst.
  • Chocolate cysts or endometrioma: This cyst occurs when the cells lining the uterus from inside, instead begin to grow outside the uterus.
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome: It is usually called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which is characterized by the formation of multiple small cysts inside both ovaries.
  • Tubo-ovarian abscesses: Infections of the pelvic organs can cause pus-filled cystic areas in ovaries or Fallopian tubes.
  • Dermoid cysts: These are cysts with abnormal tissue growth (benign or malignant).

Ovarian Cysts Treatment Options

The doctor may suggest you either shrink or remove the ovarian cyst if it won’t go away on its own or grow larger. Here are the popular treatment options:

Birth control pills

For recurrent ovarian cysts, the specialists may prescribe you oral contraceptives for stopping ovulation and avoiding the formation of new cysts. Birth control pills also help in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer.

Surgery:

  • Laparoscopy: If the cyst is small and suspected to be cancerous, the doctor may perform a laparoscopy. This involves making a small cut near the navel and using a tiny instrument to remove the cyst.
  • Laparotomy: For larger cysts, doctors recommend laparotomy surgery. If the cyst is cancerous, a hysterectomy may be performed to remove the uterus or ovaries to eliminate the cancerous growth.
