Ovarian Cyst

Understanding Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets that develop on or inside a woman’s ovaries. They are common and often harmless, but in some cases, cysts can cause pain, hormonal imbalance, and fertility problems. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, we offer expert evaluation and advanced treatment for ovarian cysts to ensure your reproductive health and fertility are protected.

What are Ovarian Cysts?

Ovarian cysts are small sacs filled with fluid that form in or on the ovaries. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and disappear naturally, but some may persist, grow larger, or cause complications. Cysts that occur repeatedly or are linked to hormonal conditions like PCOS may require medical attention.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

  • Functional cysts: The most common type, formed during the menstrual cycle (follicular or corpus luteum cysts).
  • Dermoid cysts: Contain tissues such as hair or fat; usually benign but may need removal.
  • Endometriomas: Caused by endometriosis, where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus.
  • Cystadenomas: Develop from the ovarian surface and may grow large.
  • Polycystic ovaries: Multiple small cysts due to hormonal imbalance (seen in PCOS).

Common Symptoms

  • Pelvic pain or pressure (on one side or both)
  • Irregular or painful menstrual cycles
  • Bloating or abdominal swelling
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Difficulty conceiving
  • Nausea or breast tenderness (in some cases)

Causes of Ovarian Cysts

  • Hormonal imbalance (e.g., in PCOS)
  • Pregnancy-related cysts
  • Endometriosis (formation of endometriomas)
  • Pelvic infections spreading to the ovaries
  • Use of fertility drugs (like Clomiphene Citrate)

Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts

  • Pelvic Ultrasound: The primary tool to visualize cysts and measure their size.
  • Blood Tests: To check hormone levels and rule out cancer markers (CA-125 in certain cases).
  • Physical Examination: To identify pelvic tenderness or enlarged ovaries.
  • Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure for diagnosis and treatment if needed.

Treatment Options

  • Observation: Many cysts resolve naturally within a few menstrual cycles.
  • Medication: Hormonal birth control pills may prevent new cyst formation.
  • Laparoscopic Surgery: For large, painful, or persistent cysts β€” Phular IVF uses advanced minimally invasive techniques.
  • Treatment for Underlying Conditions: Managing PCOS or endometriosis helps prevent recurrence.

Ovarian Cysts and Fertility

Not all cysts affect fertility, but some β€” like endometriomas or polycystic ovaries β€” can interfere with ovulation and egg release. Treating cysts early improves hormonal balance and enhances fertility outcomes. At Phular IVF, we provide tailored treatments including ovulation induction, laparoscopic cyst removal, and IVF for patients struggling to conceive due to cyst-related issues.
