Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside a woman’s ovaries. Most cysts are non-cancerous (benign) and form naturally during the menstrual cycle, often resolving on their own without treatment.

Who Is Eligible for Ovarian Cyst Removal Treatment?

Ovarian cyst removal is typically recommended for women who have cysts that are large, persistent, painful, or suspicious for cancer. You may be eligible for cyst removal surgery if:

  • The cyst is larger than 5–10 cm
  • It causes pelvic pain, bloating, or pressure
  • It does not go away on its own after several menstrual cycles
  • There is suspicion of malignancy (based on imaging or tumor markers)
  • You have a ruptured cyst or ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary)
  • You have endometriomas or polycystic ovaries causing infertility or pain

    • Women approaching menopause or already postmenopausal are more likely to be recommended for cyst removal to rule out cancer risk.

    How Is the Ovarian Cyst Removal Procedure Done?

    Ovarian cysts are usually removed through laparoscopic surgery or open surgery, depending on the size, type, and complexity of the cyst


  • Laparoscopic Cystectomy (Minimally Invasive): Small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (camera) is inserted. The surgeon removes the cyst while preserving the ovary if possible. This method offers faster recovery, less scarring, and reduced pain.
  • Laparotomy (Open Surgery): Recommended for larger cysts or when cancer is suspected. A larger abdominal incision is made to remove the cyst or the entire ovary if necessary.

    • Both surgeries are done under general anesthesia. Patients usually go home the same day (for laparoscopy) or within 2–3 days (for open surgery), with full recovery in 1–4 weeks depending on the type of procedure.

    FAQ About Ovarian Cysts Removal Treatment

    Are ovarian cysts dangerous?

    Most ovarian cysts are benign and harmless. However, large or persistent cysts, or those causing severe symptoms, may need medical or surgical treatment.

    Can ovarian cysts affect fertility?

    Most cysts don’t affect fertility. However, cysts caused by endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can interfere with ovulation and conception.

    How are ovarian cysts treated?

    Many cysts resolve naturally. Others may require hormonal treatment or surgical removal if they are large, painful, or suspicious in nature.

    Do ovarian cysts cause cancer?

    While most ovarian cysts are non-cancerous, a small percentage may be malignant, especially in postmenopausal women. Regular follow-up and imaging are important if risk factors are present.

    What causes ovarian cysts?

    They are commonly caused by hormonal fluctuations, ovulation, pregnancy, or conditions like endometriosis or PCOS.
