Ever had a dull pain in your lower abdomen that comes and goes without reason?
For many women, that mystery pain turns out to be an ovarian cyst. It sounds serious—and sometimes it can be—but in most cases, it’s something your body handles on its own without you even knowing. Still, it’s worth understanding what these cysts are and why they form, which can help you make better decisions about your health. Let’s take a closer look at what’s really going on.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or inside an ovary. Women have two ovaries — each about the size of an almond — which release eggs every month as part of the menstrual cycle.
Now, it’s completely normal for small cysts to form as part of this process. These are called functional cysts, and they usually go away on their own within a few weeks. The problem starts when the cyst grows too big, causes pain, doesn’t go away, or turns out to be something other than a simple fluid-filled sac.
Most ovarian cysts are not dangerous. But it’s good to know the common types:
These are the most common. They form as part of your natural menstrual cycle and usually go away on their own:
These can contain hair, skin, or even teeth (because they come from cells that make human tissue). They are usually benign but can grow quite large and may require surgery.
These are linked to endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside it. Endometriomas form when this tissue attaches to an ovary and bleeds over time, making a darker, dense cyst.
These develop from cells covering the outer part of the ovary. They can become large and might need surgical removal.
Cysts can form due to many reasons:
Here’s the tricky part — many ovarian cysts don’t cause any symptoms at all. They just quietly come and go. But when symptoms do occur, they may include:
In rare cases, a cyst can rupture or cause the ovary to twist (called ovarian torsion), which is an emergency. If you experience sudden, severe abdominal pain with vomiting or fever, go to a hospital immediately.
Most cysts are found during a routine pelvic exam or an ultrasound. If your doctor feels something unusual during an internal check-up, they may recommend:
Let’s be clear — not every cyst is dangerous. But some red flags should not be ignored:
Your doctor will guide you if surgery is needed or if you just need to wait and watch.
Treatment depends on your age, the type and size of the cyst, and whether you’re having symptoms.
If the cyst is small and not causing trouble, your doctor may ask you to wait and repeat an ultrasound after 6-8 weeks.
Birth control pills may be advised to prevent new cysts from forming (they don’t shrink existing ones). Painkillers can help with discomfort.
If the cyst is large, painful, doesn’t go away, or has suspicious features — surgery may be advised. Two main types:
The surgeon may remove just the cyst (cystectomy) or the entire ovary (oophorectomy), depending on your age, symptoms, and whether you want children in the future.
This depends on the type of cyst. Functional cysts don’t affect fertility. But endometriomas and cysts caused by PCOS may affect ovulation and make it harder to get pregnant.
If you’re trying to conceive and have cysts, your doctor may do hormone tests or recommend fertility-focused treatment options.
Here are a few things that can help if you’ve been diagnosed with a cyst:
Ovarian cysts are common and usually not dangerous. But they should not be ignored either. Paying attention to your body, getting regular check-ups, and staying in touch with your doctor can help manage them easily. You don’t need to fear the word cyst — just respect what your body is telling you.
If you’re experiencing ongoing pelvic pain, irregular periods, or anything unusual, don’t wait too long. Visit a gynaecologist, get checked, and understand your treatment options clearly. Catching things early always makes them easier to handle.
The success rate depends on specific circumstances, but the effectiveness of the treatment is high, especially for couples with male infertility.
From ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer, the process typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks.
ICSI has its advantage for couples experiencing male factor infertility and other specific fertility issues.
While ICSI is generally safe, risks include multiple pregnancies and potential complications during egg retrieval.
