Ovarian Cyst Treatment
Create a requestOvarian cyst treatment involves managing or removing fluid-filled sacs that develop on a woman's ovaries. These cysts are common and often harmless, exhibiting little to no symptoms. However, larger cysts can cause discomfort and may require intervention to prevent complications.
General
Ovarian cysts can vary in type and size, with many resolving on their own without the need for medical intervention. When treatment is necessary, it typically involves hormonal therapy to prevent future cysts from forming or surgical procedures to remove the cysts. The approach to treatment depends on factors such as the cyst’s size, type, and whether it is causing symptoms. Surgery may be recommended if there is concern for ovarian cancer, if the cyst does not go away on its own over several menstrual cycles, or if it grows larger or causes pain. Hormonal contraceptives may also be prescribed to help regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent the development of new cysts.
