While most cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some can cause discomfort, complications, or affect fertility. At&nbsp;<strong>SR Women &amp; Children Specialists<\/strong>, we provide expert diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of ovarian cysts to support your reproductive health and peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are Ovarian Cysts?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or inside an ovary. Most women will develop at least one cyst in their lifetime. These cysts are often discovered during routine pelvic exams or imaging tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several types of ovarian cysts, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Functional cysts<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 the most common type, forming during the menstrual cycle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dermoid cysts<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 contain tissue like hair, skin, or teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cystadenomas<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 filled with watery or mucous fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Endometriomas<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 associated with endometriosis and filled with thick, dark blood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While many cysts are benign (non-cancerous), some may require treatment depending on size, symptoms, or potential complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many ovarian cysts go unnoticed because they cause no symptoms. However, larger or ruptured cysts may present with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pelvic pain or pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bloating or abdominal fullness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irregular menstrual cycles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain during intercourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden, sharp abdominal pain (in cases of rupture or torsion)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience severe pain or symptoms of a ruptured cyst, such as fever, nausea, or dizziness, seek immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At SR Women &amp; Children Specialists, our gynaecologists use several diagnostic tools to identify and evaluate ovarian cysts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pelvic ultrasound 3D\/4D<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 the most common and effective imaging method to view cyst size, shape, and composition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blood tests<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 to check hormone levels or tumour markers (like CA-125) if there\u2019s concern for cancer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MRI or CT scans<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 used for detailed imaging and surgical planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laparoscopy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualisation and, if necessary, removal of the cyst.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Management and Treatment Options<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment depends on the type, size, symptoms, and whether you are pre- or postmenopausal. Our specialists personalise treatment based on each patient\u2019s health goals and reproductive plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Watchful Waiting<\/strong><br>If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, especially in premenopausal women, we may recommend regular monitoring with follow-up ultrasounds. Many functional cysts resolve within a few menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Medications<\/strong><br>Hormonal birth control pills may help regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent new cysts from forming, although they do not shrink existing cysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Surgical Treatment<\/strong><br>If a cyst is large, persistent, causes symptoms, or has suspicious features, surgery may be needed. Options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cystectomy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 removal of the cyst while preserving the ovary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oophorectomy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 removal of one or both ovaries if cysts are inseperable, only when absolutely necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laparoscopy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 a keyhole surgery that is minimally invasive, offering faster recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laparotomy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 used in rare cases when the cyst is large or suspected to be malignant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our experienced gynaecologists will explain all available options and recommend the safest, most effective approach for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose SR Women &amp; Children Specialists Centre?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;<strong>SR Women &amp; Children Specialists,<\/strong>&nbsp;we prioritise your comfort, safety, and long-term health.
