Ovarian cysts can be common and may not always require cystectomy (surgical removal). However, certain symptoms associated with ovarian cysts may indicate the need for intervention, including cystectomy. Common symptoms of ovarian cysts that may require medical evaluation and potential treatment include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.  

    

   Pelvic Pain: Persistent or severe pelvic pain is a common symptom of ovarian cysts. The pain can vary in intensity and may be sharp or dull, constant, or intermittent.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Bloating: Ovarian cysts can cause abdominal bloating and discomfort, often leading to a feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Painful Menstruation: Some women with ovarian cysts experience increased pain and discomfort during their menstrual periods. This pain may be localized to one side of the lower abdomen.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Pain During Intercourse: Ovarian cysts can lead to discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse, particularly if the cyst is large or located in a way that causes friction.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Changes in Menstrual Patterns: Ovarian cysts may affect the regularity of menstrual periods. Some women with cysts may experience irregular or heavy bleeding.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Frequent Urination: Large ovarian cysts can press on the bladder, leading to increased frequency of urination and a feeling of urgency.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Digestive Issues: In some cases, ovarian cysts can cause digestive symptoms such as constipation or changes in bowel habits due to pressure on the intestines.

    

    

 

 

1.  

    

   Backache or Leg Pain: Rarely, large ovarian cysts can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to back pain or leg pain.

    

    

 

 

 

 

 

It's important to note that not all ovarian cysts cause symptoms, and many cysts resolve on their own without the need for intervention. Cystectomy is typically considered when cysts are causing severe pain, are persistent, have unusual characteristics, or are suspected of being cancerous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In such cases, a gynecologist may recommend further evaluation, including imaging studies and, if necessary, cystectomy or another surgical procedure to remove the cyst. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about ovarian cysts, it's advisable to seek medical evaluation and discuss your options with a healthcare provider.
