HexaHealth TeamExpertWe are sorry to hear that you're dealing with a left ovarian cyst. The treatment for an ovarian cyst depends on several factors, including the type of cyst, its size, whether it's causing symptoms, and the patient's overall health. Here are some common approaches to treating ovarian cysts:
1. In many cases, especially for small, functional cysts, healthcare providers may recommend a "watchful waiting" approach. This means monitoring the cyst over time to see if it goes away. Follow-up ultrasound examinations can help track changes in the cyst's size and appearance.
2. Hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills or hormonal patches can help regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent the formation of new cysts. They may also reduce the risk of existing cysts growing larger.
3. Surgical removal may be necessary if the cyst is large, painful, persistent, or shows concerning features (such as solid components). There are two main surgical options:
• Laparoscopy (Minimally Invasive Surgery): In this procedure, a surgeon makes small incisions and uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (laparoscope) to remove or drain the cyst. Laparoscopy is less invasive and often results in a quicker recovery.
• Laparotomy (Open Surgery): In some cases, if the cyst is very large or there are complications, an open surgical procedure (laparotomy) may be required. This involves making a larger incision in the abdominal area to remove the cyst.
4. If the cyst is suspected to be cancerous or preserving the ovary is essential (for fertility reasons), the surgeon may perform a cystectomy. This involves removing only the cyst while leaving the rest of the ovary intact.
