DID YOU SAY OVARIAN CYST?

                                     Did you say Ovarian Cyst?

Did you know that more than 70% of women develop ovarian cysts at least once in their lifetime? And that no age is immune. 

Most of these are 'functional cysts'- are formed during menstruation, are small, fluid filled, dont cause any discomfort and disappear on their own.

While others are 'Pathological', meaning, they develop due to abnormal cell growth. These cysts can cause irregular periods, pelvic pain, lower back ache, infertility and worse, they could turn cancerous too.


Is prevention possible?

There is no full proof way to prevent ovarian cysts. However, regular gynaecological exams, including ultrasound and a few blood tests (especially when you are at high risk), can help detect the condition early and ensure that even the smallest changes in the ovaries are picked early.

Yes, but how to treat the ovarian cyst?

Treatment in the form of contraceptive pills may help shrink the cysts. If the cysts are big or of a particular type (eg a dermoid), your doctor may perform a surgery for cyst removal. The treatment can also depend on what YOU want- aggressive management may be necessary if you wish to conceive and a cyst is getting in your way or causing you unbearable pain (eg endometrioma)
