Discovering an ovarian cyst can feel worrying, but here's the good news; most ovarian cysts are harmless, cause no symptoms, and often disappear on their own within a few months. At Unittas Hospital, we specialize in ovarian cyst treatment without surgery in Chennai, focusing on safe, evidence-based care that prioritizes your comfort and well-being. Our expert gynecologists use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to help you manage cysts effectively, avoid unnecessary procedures, and ensure your long-term reproductive health.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside the ovary. They are very common, especially during reproductive years. Most cysts are functional (related to ovulation) and resolve naturally. Only a small percentage need surgery.
