Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries, and they are quite common among women of reproductive age. While many ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, others can cause symptoms or lead to complications. Dr. Shazi Qureshi offers expert diagnosis, treatment, and management of cystic ovarian masses, ensuring that you receive personalized care tailored to your specific needs.
What Are Cystic Ovarian Masses?
Cystic ovarian masses refer to cysts that develop on or within the ovaries. These masses can vary in size, type, and symptoms. Most ovarian cysts are functional cysts that form as part of the normal menstrual cycle. However, in some cases, they may grow larger or cause complications, leading to discomfort or other health issues.
Types of Ovarian Cysts
- Functional Cysts: These are the most common type and form during the menstrual cycle. They usually go away on their own without treatment.
- Dermoid Cysts: These are rare cysts that can contain tissues such as hair, skin, or teeth.
- Endometriomas: Cysts that develop due to endometriosis, where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A condition where multiple small cysts develop on the ovaries, often associated with hormonal imbalances.
Symptoms of Cystic Ovarian Masses
In many cases, ovarian cysts may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, if they grow large or rupture, they can lead to the following symptoms:
- Abdominal or pelvic pain
- Bloating or a feeling of fullness
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Unexplained weight gain
- Difficulty getting pregnant
Diagnosis of Cystic Ovarian Masses
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated with ovarian cysts, Dr. Shazi Qureshi will conduct a thorough evaluation, which includes:
- Physical Examination: Dr. Qureshi will perform a pelvic exam to check for any abnormalities in the ovaries.
- Ultrasound: An ultrasound scan is the most common method to assess the size, location, and nature of the ovarian cyst.
- Blood Tests: Hormonal levels may be checked to rule out conditions like PCOS.
- CT Scan or MRI: In some cases, these imaging techniques may be used to get a clearer view of the cystic mass.
Treatment Options for Cystic Ovarian Masses
The treatment for ovarian cysts depends on several factors, including the type, size, symptoms, and whether the cyst is benign or potentially cancerous. Dr. Shazi Qureshi offers the following treatment options:
- Watchful Waiting: If the cyst is small and not causing any symptoms, Dr. Qureshi may recommend regular monitoring through follow-up ultrasounds to track its progress.
- Medications: Hormonal birth control or other medications may be prescribed to regulate your menstrual cycle and prevent the formation of new cysts.
- Laparoscopy: For larger cysts or cysts causing significant pain, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery may be recommended to remove the cyst.
- Oophorectomy: In rare cases, when the cyst is large, persistent, or suspected to be cancerous, the ovary may need to be removed through surgery.
- PCOS Management: If your ovarian cysts are associated with PCOS, lifestyle changes, medications, and fertility treatments may be suggested to manage symptoms and support fertility.
