Ovarian cysts are sacs, usually filled with fluid, in an ovary or on its surface. Ovarian cysts are common. Most of the time, you have little or no discomfort. But sometimes ovarian cysts can grow really big and cause pressure symptoms with pelvic pain and can become twisted or burst open (rupture). This can cause serious symptoms.
Dr. Gopalkrishna Gawade recently performed a laparoscopic removal of a huge football size ovarian cyst from a woman in pune who was infertile since last 8 years. This surgery might help her to conceive in future. Know more about it from Dr. Gopalkrishna Gawade (Laparoscopic Gynecologist) in this latest blog.

Most ovarian cysts cause no symptoms and go away on their own. But a large ovarian cyst can cause:
• Pelvic pain that may come and go. You may feel a dull ache or a sharp pain in the area below your bellybutton toward one side.
• Fullness, pressure or heaviness in your belly (abdomen).
• Bloating.
When do fibroids need to be treated? The answer is fairly straightforward. If the fibroids are asymptomatic, or cause you no issues, treatment is probably not needed. Whereas, if your fibroids cause you pain and other problems, treatments are available for you to choose from depending on the severity of the symptoms.
Functional cysts
Functional cysts are the most common type of ovarian cyst and aren’t disease-related. They occur as a result of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). These cysts can be a sign that your ovaries are functioning as they should. Functional cysts generally shrink over time, usually within 60 days, without specific treatment.
Follicular cysts. A small sac in your ovary, called a follicle, releases an egg each month as part of your menstrual cycle. A follicular cyst forms when the follicle doesn’t release an egg. Instead, the follicle fills with fluid and grows bigger.
Corpus luteum cysts. After the follicle releases an egg, it forms a hormone-producing group of cells called the corpus luteum. A cyst forms when fluid collects in the corpus luteum, causing it to grow.
Other cysts
Not all ovarian cysts form in response to your menstrual cycle.
Cystadenomas. These cysts form on the surface of your ovary. They can be filled with fluid that’s thin and watery or thicker and mucous-like.
Dermoid cysts (teratomas). Dermoid cysts consist of cells that make up all types of tissue in the human body, ranging from skin, hair, teeth and even brain tissue.
Endometriomas. These cysts are filled with endometrial tissue, the same tissue that you bleed each month during your period.
Ovarian cancer. Unlike the conditions above, ovarian cancer cysts (tumors) are solid masses of cancer cells.
Yes. Cysts can cause bloating, which contributes to weight gain. Some cysts secrete hormones that can cause you to gain weight.
Ovarian Cyst can be diagnosed through pelvic examination, Ultrasonography & Laparoscopy. Tumor Marker Test is done to find cancer growth.
Functional cysts don’t require any treatment as they disappear over the time. But cysts with large size, rupture or with cancer growth requires medical & surgical intervention.
In Medical management, oral contraceptives are used but they don’t shrink the size of cyst.
Surgical intervention: In case of large size of ovarian cyst or cancer growth or other complications, cyst removal is required. Surgically, either by open operation or by laparoscopic surgery, ovarian cyst can be removed.
Recently Dr. Gopalkrishna Gawade performed a laparoscopic removal of ovarian cyst of 27cm diameter size from a 26 years old woman in Pune. She was infertile since last 8 years. This surgery might help her to conceive in future. During surgery 3 liter of fluid was removed and ovarian cyst was removed completely with the use of laparoscopic instruments.
