When to watch, when to treat and how to protect your fertility

Hearing the words “ovarian cyst” on a scan report can be unsettling, especially when you are not sure whether it needs treatment at all. At Vertex Clinics, we offer careful evaluation and personalised ovarian cyst treatment in Salunke Vihar, Kondhwa , beginning with a clear explanation of what your scan shows and what it means for you. Most ovarian cysts are harmless, and our job is to tell apart those that only need watching from those that need action, so that you receive neither too little nor too much care.

Ovarian Cyst Treatment

What is an ovarian cyst?

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary.

Cysts are very common and can appear at any age, most often during the reproductive years. Many are found by chance during a scan done for another reason.

What are the different types of ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are broadly divided into functional cysts, which are linked to the monthly cycle and usually go away on their own, and other types, such as dermoid cysts, endometriomas and cystadenomas, which may need closer follow-up or treatment.

  • ✓ Follicular and corpus luteum cysts: Functional cysts formed during ovulation. These often settle within a few weeks to a few months.
  • ✓ Haemorrhagic cysts: A functional cyst that bleeds into itself, sometimes causing sudden pain.
  • ✓ Dermoid cysts: Cysts containing tissue such as fat or hair. They do not go away by themselves.
  • ✓ Endometriomas : Cysts linked to endometriosis, sometimes called “chocolate cysts”.
  • ✓ Cystadenomas: Cysts that develop from the surface cells of the ovary and may become large.

Polycystic ovaries seen in PCOS are not the same as true ovarian cysts. They are small immature follicles.

What are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst?

Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms, but larger ones may cause pelvic or lower abdominal pain, bloating, a feeling of fullness, pain during intercourse, changes in periods, or frequent urination.

Symptoms often depend on the cyst’s size and position, and sometimes on whether it has bled or twisted.

Which symptoms mean I need urgent care?

Seek immediate medical help for sudden severe pelvic pain, especially on one side, particularly with vomiting, fever, dizziness or fainting.

These can be signs of a cyst that has twisted (torsion), burst (rupture) or bled, which may need emergency treatment to protect the ovary and your health. Please do not wait for a routine appointment.

How are ovarian cysts diagnosed?

Diagnosis starts with your history and a pelvic examination, followed by an ultrasound scan, which shows the cyst’s size, shape and contents.

Our evaluation may include:

  • ✓ A pregnancy test, since early pregnancy can cause a harmless cyst
  • ✓ A pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound
  • ✓ Blood tests, including tumour markers in selected cases
  • ✓ MRI or CT scans, when the ultrasound is not clear
  • ✓ A review of your age, symptoms, menopausal status and family history

No single test provides all the answers, so we look at the whole picture.

Are ovarian cysts cancerous?

The vast majority of ovarian cysts, particularly in women who are still having periods, are benign (non-cancerous).

The chance of a worrying cyst is higher after menopause, or when a scan shows solid areas, thick walls or unusual blood flow. A raised CA-125 blood level does not always mean cancer, because it can rise with endometriosis, fibroids, periods or infection. We assess every cyst carefully and arrange further evaluation when anything looks unusual.

Do all ovarian cysts need treatment?

No. Small, simple cysts that cause no trouble are often just watched, with a repeat scan after some weeks, since many shrink or disappear on their own.

Treatment is considered if a cyst is large, persistent, growing, causing pain, looks complex on the scan or occurs after menopause.

How is an ovarian cyst treated?

Treatment depends on the type and size of the cyst, your symptoms, age and plans for pregnancy, and may include observation, medicines or surgery.

Our approach to Ovarian Cyst Treatment includes:

  • ✓ Watchful waiting with repeat scans, for small, simple cysts
  • ✓ Pain relief, for discomfort while a cyst settles
  • ✓ Medicines, for cysts related to hormonal or other conditions, when suitable
  • ✓ Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, to remove a cyst while preserving healthy ovarian tissue wherever possible
  • ✓ Open surgery or removal of the ovary, only when medically necessary, for example for large or suspicious cysts
  • ✓ Regular follow-up, to check for recurrence

Hormonal pills prevent new functional cysts in some women, but they have not been shown to make an existing cyst disappear faster. We explain the options and decide together with you.

Will an ovarian cyst affect my fertility?

Most ovarian cysts do not affect fertility, though some types, such as endometriomas, may need careful planning to protect ovarian health.

Whenever surgery is needed, we try to preserve as much healthy ovarian tissue as we can. If you are trying to conceive, please tell us at the first visit. Dr. Ruchi N. Thakur holds a fellowship in infertility, which helps in planning treatment around your fertility goals.

Can ovarian cysts occur during pregnancy?

Yes. Cysts are common in early pregnancy, particularly a harmless corpus luteum cyst, and most disappear by the second trimester.

Cysts that grow, cause pain or look unusual are monitored more closely, and treated if needed.

Can ovarian cysts come back?

Yes. Functional cysts can recur, and some women are prone to repeated cysts. Other types, such as endometriomas, may also return.

Regular check-ups help detect recurrence early. Please let us know if your symptoms return.

Can lifestyle changes prevent ovarian cysts?

There is no proven way to prevent them, but a healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups and prompt attention to symptoms support overall pelvic health.

Please avoid unproven herbal remedies that claim to dissolve cysts, since they can delay proper care.

How do I choose the right doctor for ovarian cysts?

Choose a gynaecologist who explains your scan in plain language, recommends surgery only when needed and plans treatment around your age and fertility wishes.
