About the disease & condition

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries that may be functional or pathological. They commonly arise from hormonal fluctuations, endometriosis, or fertility treatments. Many cysts are asymptomatic, but larger cysts can cause pelvic pain, bloating, or sudden severe pain if rupture or torsion occurs. Diagnosis is made primarily via pelvic ultrasound, with CA-125 testing for complex cysts. Management involves regular monitoring for small cysts and surgical removal for large, persistent, or symptomatic cysts to prevent complications such as torsion, rupture, or infertility.

Known Symptoms

Pelvic pain or pressure in the lower abdominal region.
Occasional abdominal bloating or swelling causing discomfort.
Sudden severe pain if cyst ruptures or twists (torsion).
Pain during intercourse or irregular menstrual cycles sometimes.

Known Causes

Hormonal fluctuations affecting ovarian function and cyst formation.
Endometriosis causing ovarian endometriomas or abnormal growths.
Fertility treatments stimulating ovulation increasing cyst risk.
Previous ovarian cysts or reproductive disorders increasing recurrence.

Care

Regular follow-up and ultrasound to monitor cyst size.
Surgical removal for large, persistent, or symptomatic cysts.
Pain management with medications if discomfort occurs.
Seek urgent care for sudden severe pelvic pain.
