Pathological Cysts: Endometriomas: These cysts form when endometrial tissue grows on the ovaries, resulting in painful cysts that can a?ect fertility.

Causes of Ovarian Cyst: In a normal healthy woman in her reproductive years, the ovaries develop small cyst-like structures when the egg is released from the ovaries (by the process of ovulation). The egg is released by follicles. When these follicles keep growing, they form a functional cyst. These cysts develop within two to three menstrual cycles.

4. Your gynecologist and expert will begin by ruling out pregnancy as a potential cause of your symptoms. Subsequently, they may utilize the following diagnostic tests to identify an ovarian cyst: Wait and watch: In many cases, especially for small, asymptomatic cysts, your Fertility Specialist may recommend a wait-and-watch approach. This involves regular monitoring through follow-up appointments and imaging tests, like ultrasounds, to observe the cyst’s behavior and see if it resolves by itself. Medications: Some ovarian cysts can be resolved by medications prescribed to treat their symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-in?ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help alleviate pain and discomfort. Hormonal contraceptives, like birth control pills, may be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle, prevent the formation of new cysts, and shrink existing cysts. Surgery: If the cyst is large, is causing severe pain, or shows no signs of resolving, your doctor may perform surgery. The type and extent of surgery depend on the characteristics of the cyst and the patient’s overall health. ?. Laparoscopy: This minimally invasive surgical procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a thin, ?exible instrument with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted. The surgeon can visualize and remove the cyst or perform cystectomy, which involves removing only the cyst while preserving the ovary. ?. Laparotomy: In some cases, a larger incision (laparotomy) may be required to remove the cyst. This approach is typically reserved for larger cysts, suspected malignancies, or cases where the cyst has caused complications. ?. Oophorectomy: In rare cases where the cyst is cancerous, or there is a risk of malignancy, the a?ected ovary may need to be surgically removed (oophorectomy).
