Ovarian Cyst Treatment in Goregaon West, Mumbai
Introduction
Are you experiencing pelvic pain, irregular periods, or bloating?
You could be dealing with an ovarian cyst—a common but often silent condition. At Vardaan Hospital, Goregaon West, expert gynecologist Dr. Dimple Doshi brings over 26 years of experience and the latest in 3D laparoscopic technology to provide accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for all types of ovarian cysts, including hemorrhagic, paraovarian, borderline, and malignant cysts.
What Is an Ovarian Cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid- or blood-filled sac that forms within or adjacent to the ovary. While many are harmless, others can cause pain, infertility, or even indicate early-stage cancer. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are critical.
Synonyms of Ovarian Cyst:
- Ovary cyst
- Cyst on the ovary
- Ovarian growth
- Fluid-filled sac in the ovary
- Ovarian lump
- Cystic growth in ovary
- Pelvic cyst
What Are the Different Types of Ovarian Cysts?
Functional cysts (related to normal ovarian function), including:
Follicular cysts – when a follicle fails to release an egg during ovulation
Corpus luteum cysts – formed after ovulation when the corpus luteum seals and fills with fluid or blood
Theca lutein cysts – large, often bilateral cysts caused by excessive hCG stimulation (seen in molar pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, or fertility treatments)
- Hemorrhagic cysts (internal bleeding within cyst)
- Endometriomas (chocolate cysts in endometriosis)
- Dermoid cysts (teratomas containing hair, fat, or teeth)
- Cystadenomas (serous or mucinous cysts)
- Paraovarian cysts (arise adjacent to but separate from the ovary)
- Polycystic ovaries (PCOD/PCOS)
- Borderline ovarian tumors (low malignant potential)
- Malignant ovarian cysts (ovarian cancer)
Complex cysts—especially hemorrhagic, borderline, paraovarian, and malignant—require individualized care from an experienced gynecologist.
What Are the Common Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts and How Do They Affect You Emotionally?
Many ovarian cysts are silent, but others cause considerable distress. Women may suffer silently, fearing cancer or losing fertility.
Common Symptoms
- Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
- Menstrual irregularities
- Bloating and heaviness
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
- Fatigue, nausea, or spotting
- Sharp pain if cyst ruptures or twists
Hormonal imbalances, especially in PCOS
What Complications Can Arise from Untreated Ovarian Cysts?
If left untreated or mismanaged, ovarian cysts can cause serious health risks:
1. Ovarian Torsion
- Twisting of ovary due to a cyst
- Severe pain, vomiting; emergency surgery required
- Can cause loss of ovary if delayed
- Bulky polycystic ovaries and dermoid cysts are particularly prone to torsion
- Torsion may be intermittent—twisting and untwisting—causing recurrent pain
- In severe cases, necrosis of ovary may necessitate oophorectomy (removal of the ovary)
- Early detection allows laparoscopic detorsion with or without laparoscopic oophoropexy (surgical fixation of the ovary to prevent future torsion)
- Triggers: sudden forward bending, heavy lifting, abrupt posture changes, or intense physical activity
2. Cyst Rupture
- Sudden release of fluid or blood
- May lead to internal bleeding or peritonitis
- Common in hemorrhagic and cystadenomas
3. Infertility
- Endometriomas and PCOS-related cysts may impair ovulation
- Repeated surgeries or adhesions can damage ovarian reserve
- Paraovarian cysts may obstruct tubal function
4. Infection or Abscess Formation
- Rare, but possible in cysts post-rupture or with secondary infection
5. Malignant Transformation
- Some benign-looking cysts (dermoid, cystadenoma) may harbor malignancy
- Borderline tumors may recur or transform over time
6. Adhesions & Chronic Pelvic Pain
Due to rupture, torsion, or repeated inflammation/surgery
How Are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed and Differentiated Between Harmless and Dangerous Ones?
At Vardaan Hospital, Dr. Doshi uses an evidence-based protocol:
- High-resolution transvaginal ultrasound with color Doppler
- MRI/CT for complex or suspicious masses
- CA-125, HE4, and other tumor markers
