1. Definition: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within an ovary.

2. Common Occurrence: They are very common, especially in women of childbearing age.

3. Formation: During the menstrual cycle, a follicle (a sac on the ovary) grows to release an egg. If the follicle doesn't release an egg or closes up after releasing it, it can swell with fluid, forming a cyst.

1. Asymptomatic: Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms and are discovered incidentally during a pelvic exam or imaging test.

2. Potential Symptoms:

Pelvic pain (ranging from dull ache to sharp pain).

Bloating or a swollen abdomen.

Pain during sexual intercourse.

Changes in menstrual cycle (heavy or irregular periods).

Frequent urination.

3. Complications (Rare):

Ovarian torsion: A large cyst can cause the ovary to twist, cutting off its blood supply, requiring immediate medical attention.

Ruptured cyst: A cyst can rupture, causing pelvic pain and potentially bleeding.

Infertility: In some cases, large or recurrent cysts can affect fertility.

Malignancy

1. Diagnosis:

Pelvic exam.

Ultrasound.

Other imaging tests (CT scan, MRI) if necessary.

2. Treatment:

Observation: Small, benign cysts often resolve on their own.

Medication: Birth control pills can help regulate hormones and prevent new cysts.

Surgery: Surgery may be necessary for large cysts, cysts that cause pain or other symptoms, or if cancer is suspected.

3. Important Note: If you experience sudden, severe abdominal pain, especially with nausea, vomiting, or fever, seek immediate medical attention.
