Ovarian Cysts

What is it?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside an ovary. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some can cause symptoms or require treatment.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

1. Pelvic pain, especially during menstruation or intercourse.
2. Bloating or swelling in the abdomen.
3. Changes in menstrual cycles.
4. Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder.

What can I do?

1. Monitor symptoms and report any changes to your doctor.
2. Use over-the-counter pain relief for mild discomfort.
3. Schedule regular pelvic exams to detect cysts early.

When to Consult Your Doctor

• If you experience severe pelvic pain, fever, or dizziness.
• If cysts persist or grow larger over time.
• If you have trouble conceiving and suspect ovarian cysts may be a factor.

Remember
Most ovarian cysts are benign and manageable, but prompt evaluation can prevent complications. Regular check-ups are key to maintaining ovarian health.
