Causes

Ovarian cysts that structure during your monthly cycle are either follicular or luteal growths. Eggs structure inside liquid filled follicles in your ovaries, yet on the off chance that a follicle doesn't deliver its egg or in the event that it doesn't recoil subsequent to delivering the egg, the follicle fills in size to frame a follicular pimple. Regularly, these sores just last half a month. On the other hand, luteal sores create if the excess tissue after an egg's delivery tops off with blood. Luteal pimples are more uncommon and take more time to vanish, however, sometimes they may explode, causing draining and torment.

In the event that you are not yet 40, you may create a dermoid pimple, which structures from the cells that would normally form into an egg. These ovarian cysts can possibly arrive at 15cm in size. In the interim, cystadenomas normally create in the over 40s from the phones covering the outside of your ovary. There are two sorts of cystadenoma you can grow, either little serous cystadenomas that can possibly crack or enormous mucinous cystadenomas that can now and then fill your entire mid-region. Once in a while are any of these ovarian sores carcinogenic.

Symptoms

1. Pain in your pelvis, which might be dull or sharp, and can happen during intercourse

2. Your periods may get lighter, heavier or unpredictable

3. Indigestion, feeling full rapidly or swelling

4. Constipation

5. Increase frequency of urinating

Investigations

It consists of a blood test to check for chemicals that may be produced by ovarian cysts like CA-125, CEA, (LDH), aFP, and hCG.

An ultrasound scan can detect different types of cysts which will be done initially by Mr. Kunal Rathod and if needed he will request a CT scan or MRI scan (detailed scan that looks inside the body and determine the exact nature of the cyst)

Treatment

Women with small (less than 50 mm diameter) simple ovarian cysts generally do not require follow-up as these cysts are very likely to be physiological and almost always resolve within 3 menstrual cycles.

Women with simple ovarian cysts of 50–70 mm in diameter will have yearly ultrasound follow-up and those with larger simple cysts will be considered for either further imaging (MRI) or surgery.

Mr. Kunal Rathod will perform laparoscopy for any type of ovarian cysts and has removed cysts that fill up the entire tummy through a tinny keyhole cosmetic incision.  

Depending on the age sometimes it may be necessary to remove the ovary rather than cyst as there is a high chance of recurrence and cancer.

If there is any evidence of precancerous cells or suspicion of cancer then you will be referred immediately to a cancer specialist.
