Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries. Treatment for ovarian cysts depends on factors such as the size and type of the cyst, as well as the presence of symptoms. In many cases, ovarian cysts resolve on their own without treatment. However, if a cyst is causing symptoms or complications, treatment may be necessary. Common treatment options include watchful waiting, medication, and surgery.
Medications such as hormonal contraceptives may be prescribed to help regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent the formation of new cysts. Pain relievers may also be recommended to alleviate discomfort associated with ovarian cysts. In cases where a cyst is large, causing severe symptoms, or at risk of rupture, surgery may be required to remove the cyst. Minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy may be used to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary.
