Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled, blood-filled, or more dense formations of various sizes that appear in one or both ovaries. This health issue, which nearly every woman experiences at least once in her lifetime, may not always be of the same type. Cysts can grow into various forms due to the influence of different factors, depending on the type of cells they contain. These formations, also known as ovarian cysts, can arise due to hormonal imbalances, excessive exposure to radiation, or past ovarian inflammations.
The most common benign and malignant cysts are as follows:
Ovarian cysts often do not show symptoms and are detected incidentally during gynecological examinations. The most common symptoms are menstrual irregularities, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, digestive system disorders, and urinary tract complaints. Cysts that do not grow significantly do not cause pain or abdominal swelling. If abdominal pain is felt, it may indicate an inflamed mass. Frequent urination, constipation, or pain during defecation may suggest that the cyst is growing and putting pressure on the bladder. This issue can also lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, and mild nausea, among other digestive system complaints.
To decide on the treatment method, the patient is examined, considering the type, size, symptoms, patient's history, and age of the cyst. Most ovarian cysts disappear on their own over time. In other cases, especially for simple cysts, follow-up and shrinkage of the cyst with birth control pills are preferred.
Regular antibiotic treatment may be necessary for inflammatory cysts. However, surgery is required for cysts that cause pain and are suspected to be malignant. Nowadays, these surgeries are performed much more carefully and in detail using laparoscopic and robotic surgical methods. New surgical techniques that offer significant advantages to the patient shorten the recovery period, making it possible to return to normal life more quickly and perform surgery with smaller abdominal incisions.
