Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts: When to See a Doctor in Wakad

Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms at all and are discovered during a routine pelvic ultrasound. However, the following symptoms in a woman from Pimpri-Chinchwad, Wakad, Baner or surrounding areas should prompt a gynaecological visit: pelvic pain or pressure, especially on one side; bloating or a feeling of fullness; painful periods or pain during intercourse; frequent urination; and irregular menstrual cycles.

Severe sudden pelvic pain, fever and vomiting could indicate a ruptured cyst or ovarian torsion, which require emergency evaluation.

When Does an Ovarian Cyst Need Surgery?

Dr. Bhagyashri Naphade follows a conservative, evidence-based approach. Surgery is recommended when: the cyst is larger than 5 cm and has not reduced in 3 months, the cyst appears complex on ultrasound (solid areas, irregular walls), the patient is in significant pain, the cyst has caused ovarian torsion, or the cyst is an endometrioma affecting fertility plans.

What about PCOS cysts? PCOS follicles, despite their name, are not true ovarian cysts. They don’t need surgical removal. PCOS is managed with hormonal medications, lifestyle changes and, for fertility, ovulation induction or IVF.

Ovarian Cysts and Fertility: What You Need to Know

Endometriomas (chocolate cysts) are the cyst type most directly linked to fertility problems. They contain old menstrual blood and can damage the surrounding ovarian tissue, reducing egg quantity and quality. Surgical removal of endometriomas can improve IVF outcomes, though it must be timed carefully to preserve as much ovarian reserve as possible.

At La Femme Fertility Clinic in Wakad, Dr. Bhagyashri Naphade plans ovarian cyst surgery as part of a broader fertility strategy when relevant, ensuring the best outcome for both immediate health and future conception.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can an ovarian cyst go away on its own?

Yes. Most functional cysts (the most common type) resolve naturally within 1 to 3 menstrual cycles without any treatment. Your doctor will recommend watchful waiting with follow-up ultrasound.

Q: Will ovarian cyst surgery affect my fertility?

Skilled laparoscopic surgery preserves as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. In fact, removing certain cysts like endometriomas can improve fertility by reducing their damaging effect on the ovary.

Q: What is the cost of laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal in Pune?

Total cost for laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy in Pune ranges from INR 40,000 to INR 1,20,000 including surgeon fees, hospital stay and anaesthesia.

Q: Is ovarian cyst surgery covered by insurance in India?

Most health insurance policies in India cover laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery as a non-cosmetic gynaecological procedure. Check your policy terms or ask your insurer before scheduling.

Q: What is the difference between a PCOS cyst and an ovarian cyst?

PCOS follicles are small, immature follicles that accumulate due to hormonal imbalance. They are not true cysts in the pathological sense and don’t require surgical removal. True ovarian cysts are larger, often fluid-filled structures of different origin and composition.

Conclusion

Most ovarian cysts don’t need surgery and will resolve on their own. However, persistent, large or symptomatic cysts, especially endometriomas, do need specialist evaluation and often laparoscopic treatment.

If you’ve been told you have an ovarian cyst in Pune or PCMC, the next step is a thorough evaluation by a qualified gynaecologist.
