Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and harmless. Functional cysts often resolve on their own within a few months. However, some cysts may cause symptoms or complications, which is why proper evaluation and monitoring by a gynecologist is important.
Most ovarian cysts don't affect fertility. However, certain types like endometriomas or very large cysts may impact ovulation or egg quality. Our fertility specialists can assess your individual situation and recommend appropriate treatment to preserve your reproductive potential.
Generally, cysts larger than 4-5 cm that persist for more than two menstrual cycles may require surgical evaluation. However, the decision depends on various factors including your age, symptoms, cyst characteristics on imaging, and risk factors.
Recovery time varies based on the surgical approach. Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy typically requires 1-2 weeks for full recovery, while open surgery may take 4-6 weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities as advised by their surgeon.
The recurrence rate depends on the type of cyst and treatment received. Functional cysts have a higher chance of recurring as they're related to normal ovarian function. However, properly removed cysts (through cystectomy) have low recurrence rates.
While you can't completely prevent functional cysts, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and using hormonal contraceptives (as recommended by your doctor) may help reduce their formation. Regular gynecological check-ups enable early detection and management.
Most ovarian cysts are benign, while ovarian cancer involves malignant cells. Cysts are usually fluid-filled sacs, whereas cancerous growths are solid masses. Advanced imaging, blood tests (like CA-125), and sometimes biopsy help distinguish between the two.
Don't let ovarian cysts affect your quality of life. Our expert team is here to help.
