Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or growths that develop in or on the ovaries. Many ovarian cysts are benign and may disappear without treatment, but some can become large, persistent, painful, or suspicious on imaging and may require surgical evaluation. Ovarian Cyst Surgery in Mumbai can involve minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy, depending on the cyst’s size, appearance, symptoms, and the patient’s overall health. Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar at Kirit Nursing Home provides gynecological and gynecologic oncology care, helping women receive appropriate evaluation and treatment for ovarian and other reproductive health conditions.

Ovarian Cyst Surgery in Mumbai: When Is Surgery Recommended?

Not every ovarian cyst requires surgery. Functional cysts may resolve naturally over time, particularly in women who have not reached menopause. A gynecologist may recommend observation, repeat ultrasound examinations, or medication depending on the individual situation.

Surgery may be considered when a cyst:

• Causes persistent or severe pelvic pain
• Becomes large or continues to grow
• Does not resolve during follow-up
• Has a complex or unusual appearance on imaging
• Causes pressure symptoms
• Is associated with complications such as torsion or rupture
• Appears suspicious and requires further evaluation
• Occurs in a postmenopausal woman and requires closer assessment

The decision is based on factors such as age, symptoms, menopausal status, ultrasound findings, cyst characteristics, medical history, and relevant blood tests. A specialist evaluation is important before deciding whether surgery is necessary.

Understanding Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts can develop for several reasons. Functional cysts are commonly associated with the normal menstrual cycle and often resolve without intervention. Other types include endometriomas, dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and cysts associated with conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

Although most ovarian cysts are not cancerous, certain features may require additional investigation. These can include solid components, irregular structures, thick septations, increased blood flow, or persistent growth. The presence of a complex cyst does not automatically mean cancer, but it may warrant evaluation by a gynecologist or gynecologic oncologist.

Symptoms can include pelvic pain, abdominal fullness or bloating, discomfort during intercourse, changes in menstruation, frequent urination, or difficulty emptying the bowel when a cyst puts pressure on surrounding structures.
