What is Ovarian Cyst?

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or within an ovary, and is an extremely common finding in women of reproductive age, most often forming as part of the normal menstrual cycle. Functional cysts, which arise from the normal process of egg release, are the most common type and typically resolve on their own within a few menstrual cycles without causing harm. Less commonly, cysts can result from other conditions such as endometriosis or, rarely, represent an ovarian tumour, making evaluation important particularly for large, persistent, or unusual-appearing cysts.

Severity

Mild

Prevalence

Very common — the majority of women develop at least one ovarian cyst at some point, most resolving without treatment

Contagious

Causes of Ovarian Cyst

Most commonly caused by the normal hormonal processes of ovulation, where a follicle fails to release an egg or the corpus luteum does not resolve properly after ovulation, forming a functional cyst. Other causes include endometriosis, which can form cysts filled with old blood known as endometriomas, and polycystic ovary syndrome, which involves multiple small cysts related to hormonal imbalance. Rarely, cysts arise from abnormal cell growth representing benign or malignant ovarian tumours.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cyst

Often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally; when symptomatic, pelvic pain or a dull ache in the lower abdomen, bloating or a feeling of fullness, pain during intercourse, irregular menstrual periods, in cases of cyst rupture or twisting, sudden severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting requiring urgent evaluation

Treatment & Types of Ovarian Cyst in N I B M, Pune, Maharashtra

Most functional cysts resolve on their own without treatment and are simply monitored with follow-up ultrasound. Hormonal contraceptives may be used to help prevent new functional cysts from forming, though they do not shrink existing ones. Larger, persistent, or suspicious cysts, or those causing significant symptoms, torsion, or rupture, may require surgical removal, typically performed laparoscopically to preserve the ovary when possible.

Ovarian cysts are classified as functional cysts, the most common type, arising from the normal ovulation process such as follicular cysts from a follicle that fails to release an egg, or corpus luteum cysts from incomplete resolution after ovulation, and non-functional cysts, including endometriomas from endometriosis, and rarely, cysts representing benign or malignant ovarian tumours.
