What is the treatment for ovarian cysts?

Functional ovarian cysts are the most common type of ovarian cyst. They usually disappear by themselves and seldom require treatment.

Growths that become abnormally large or last longer than a few months should be removed or examined to determine if they are in fact something more harmful.

Medical Treatment

Ultrasonic observation or endovaginal ultrasound are used repeatedly and frequently to monitor the growth of the cyst.

Oral contraceptives:

Birth control pills may be helpful to regulate the menstrual cycle, prevent the formation of follicles that can turn into cysts, and possibly reduce the size of an existing cyst.

Pain relievers:

Anti-inflammatories may help reduce pelvic pain.

Surgery

• Laparoscopic surgery:
  
  The surgeon fills a woman's abdomen with a gas and makes small incisions through which a thin scope (laparoscope) can pass into the abdomen.
  
  The surgeon identifies the cyst through the scope and removes the cyst through these small incisions with the help of special instruments.
  
  
• GASLESS LAPAROSCOPIC REMOVAL
  
  To know more about please see the video of our technique under surgical results. 
  
  
• Laparotomy:
  
  This is a more invasive surgery in which an incision is made through the abdominal wall in order to remove a cyst.
  
  There is longer hospital stay, recovery time and high possibility of post operative adhesions
  
  
• Surgery for ovarian torsion:
  
  An ovarian cyst may twist and cause severe abdominal pain as well as nausea and vomiting. This is an emergency, and an operation is necessary to correct it
