Helping you with Ovarian Cyst
Though they are often normal and don’t require treatment, ovarian cysts are a common condition in women. You may be worried about how having ovarian cysts could impact your ability to conceive.
What are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. While most ovarian cysts are benign and disappear on their own, some may lead to complications if left untreated.
Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Breast tenderness
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Painful menstruation
- Unexplained weight gain
- Discomfort during intercourse
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Thigh and lower back pain
- Pelvic pain
Diagnosis & Treatment of Ovarian Cysts
Pelvic Examination
A simple method to detect abnormalities.
Corpus Luteum Cyst Detection
A positive pregnancy test may indicate the presence of a corpus luteum cyst.
Pelvic Ultrasound (Transvaginal)
This visualizes cysts accurately, assessing their size, location, and nature.
CA 125 Blood Test
Recommended if the cyst is solid or if there is a risk of ovarian cancer. Elevated CA 125 levels may indicate ovarian cancer, but can also be elevated in conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Laparoscopy
A minimally invasive procedure where a laparoscope is used to diagnose and remove ovarian cysts.
Pregnancy with an Ovarian Cyst
Ovarian cysts are common in early pregnancy and are usually harmless. However, they may grow and cause complications during pregnancy, so regular consultations with a gynecologist are essential to manage any potential risks.
