Most cysts are completely harmless and resolve on their own. In some cases, however, these cysts can rupture, twist, or grow large and cause pelvic pain and other symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Usually, you have no symptoms associated with a cyst, but large cysts can cause issues that may include:<\/p>\n\n- Bloating<\/li>\n
- Feeling of heaviness in your lower abdomen<\/li>\n
- Pelvic pain, especially on the side where the cyst\u2019s located<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If a cyst ruptures or twists, you may experience severe cramping, nausea, and pelvic pain. Contact Women to Women OB GYN Care immediately if you have any of these symptoms.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>How are ovarian cysts diagnosed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nDr. Gray or Dr. Maslyak may identify an ovarian cyst during a pelvic exam. If you have symptoms that suggest a cyst, they may order a pelvic ultrasound that uses sound waves to create an image of your reproductive organs and reveal an ovarian cyst. A pregnancy test may reveal a specific type of cyst known as a corpus luteum cyst.<\/p>\n
In rare cases, an ovarian cyst can be a sign of cancer, particularly if it\u2019s solid and you have other risk factors. In these cases, Dr. Gray or Dr. Maslyak may order a CA-125 blood test that looks for elevated levels of the cancer antigen 125.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How are ovarian cysts treated?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIf you have an ovarian cyst that\u2019s not causing symptoms, your OB\/GYN may recommend you watch and wait. In many cases, the cyst goes away on its own in a few months. You\u2019ll have regular follow-up ultrasounds with Dr. Gray or Dr. Maslyak to observe whether the cyst has resolved or is growing.<\/p>\n
Medications, particularly hormonal birth control, discourage the recurrence of ovarian cysts. It won\u2019t shrink an existing cyst, however.<\/p>\n
In some cases, surgery is required to remove a large cyst or one that is causing pain. Usually, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is the method Dr. Gray and Dr. Maslyak advise. It involves small instruments and tiny incisions, which means you have a shorter recovery period and less risk of complications.<\/p>\n
