Key Takeaways
- Most ovarian cysts are functional — they form and disappear with cycles within 2–3 months.
- Ultrasound character decides: watch, medicine, or laparoscopic surgery — unnecessary surgery is avoided.
- Acute severe one-sided pain with vomiting suggests torsion or rupture — that is an emergency.
- Complex or persistent cysts get a full workup including tumour markers, with fertility-preserving surgery where possible.
Types of Ovarian Cysts — Which One is Yours?
- Functional (follicular/corpus luteum): cycle-related, usually vanish in 2–3 months — monitored, not operated
- Endometrioma ('chocolate cyst'): from endometriosis; persistent; often needs laparoscopic removal
- Dermoid (teratoma): present from birth, grows slowly; removed when significant due to torsion risk
- Serous/mucinous cystadenoma: benign tumours; surgery when sizeable
- Complex/solid cysts: evaluated with tumour markers and staged surgery if suspicious — never ignored
Surgery, When Needed, is Keyhole and Fertility-Preserving
Cystectomy (removing only the cyst) via laparoscopy preserves the ovary and fertility in the great majority of cases. Dr. Prathima Srinivas uses ovarian-sparing technique and intraoperative judgement to leave healthy tissue behind. Only genuinely suspicious cysts need more extensive surgery — and that decision follows proper imaging and markers, not guesswork.

What Are Ovarian Cysts?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. Most are functional cysts — a normal part of the menstrual cycle (follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts) that resolve on their own within 2–3 cycles. Others are true growths that need evaluation and sometimes surgery: dermoid cysts, endometriomas ("chocolate cysts" of endometriosis), cystadenomas, and — less commonly — cystic tumours.
At Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, Dr. Prathima Srinivas evaluates ovarian cysts with ultrasound and tumour markers, and performs laparoscopic cystectomy — keyhole removal of the cyst while preserving the ovary — whenever appropriate.
Symptoms
- Dull ache or a sense of fullness in the lower abdomen, usually one-sided
- Pain during intimacy
- Irregular periods
- Bloating or abdominal swelling with larger cysts
- Sudden, severe one-sided pain with nausea — possible torsion (ovary twisting) or rupture — this is an emergency
Diagnosis
- Pelvic ultrasound — the primary tool; characterises size, contents (simple fluid, solid areas, septations) and blood flow (Doppler)
- Repeat ultrasound after 2–3 cycles — simple cysts in premenopausal women often resolve; follow-up avoids unnecessary surgery
- Tumour markers (CA-125 and others) — interpreted with age and ultrasound pattern, not in isolation
- MRI — for complex cysts where ultrasound is inconclusive

Yes — functional cysts, the commonest type, typically resolve within 2–3 menstrual cycles. We re-scan rather than rush to theatre. Surgery is reserved for persistent, pathological or complicated cysts.
A large cyst can twist the ovary on its blood supply, causing sudden severe pain with vomiting. Untreated, the ovary dies within hours. Emergency keyhole surgery can usually save the ovary — which is why that pain means 'hospital now'.
The vast majority are benign. Simple cysts in premenopausal women are almost never cancer. Complex features on ultrasound with rising markers (CA-125 etc.) need proper staging — and even then, many turn out benign on final histology.
Cystectomy preserves ovarian tissue, so periods and fertility are normally unaffected. There is a temporary dip in egg reserve after endometrioma surgery — another reason we operate only when genuinely needed and preserve tissue meticulously.
Pregnancy cysts (corpus luteum) support early pregnancy and usually resolve by the second trimester. They're monitored; surgery only for torsion/rupture or strongly suspicious features.
