Ovarian cysts may present with symptoms such as pelvic pain or pressure, bloating, changes in menstrual cycles, or pain during intercourse. However, many cysts are asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally during routine pelvic exams or imaging studies.
Ovarian cysts are typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, pelvic examination, and imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI. In some cases, blood tests or further diagnostic procedures may be performed to evaluate the nature of the cyst.
No, the majority of ovarian cysts are benign (noncancerous) and resolve on their own without treatment. However, some cysts may be cancerous or have the potential to become cancerous, especially in postmenopausal women or those with a family history of ovarian cancer. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will perform tests to assess the risk of malignancy and recommend appropriate treatment.
Recovery time after cystectomy varies depending on the size and complexity of the cyst and the surgical approach used. Most women can expect to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days and resume normal activities within 2-4 weeks. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will provide post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.
While cystectomy removes the existing cyst, there is a possibility of new cysts developing in the future. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will monitor your condition closely and discuss strategies for preventing recurrence, such as hormonal therapy or lifestyle changes.
