What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within the ovaries. These cysts are common and often harmless, but they can sometimes cause symptoms or complications that require medical attention. Ovarian cysts can vary in size, ranging from small and asymptomatic to large and causing discomfort or pain.
Our Approach to Ovarian Cyst Care
Dr Lauren offers comprehensive care for women with ovarian cysts, tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Our approach focuses on:
- Thorough Evaluation: Dr Lauren will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the size, type, and characteristics of your ovarian cysts, as well as any symptoms you may be experiencing. This may involve a pelvic examination, ultrasound imaging, and other diagnostic tests to determine the best course of action.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on your evaluation and individual circumstances, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your symptoms and concerns. Treatment options may include:
- Watchful Waiting: In many cases, especially if your cysts are small and not causing symptoms, a watchful waiting approach may be recommended. We will monitor your cysts regularly to ensure that they are not growing or causing complications.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as hormonal contraceptives or pain relievers, may help alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain or discomfort associated with ovarian cysts.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: For larger or persistent cysts that are causing symptoms or concerns, minimally invasive procedures such laparoscopic cystectomy may be recommended to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary.
- Surgical Options: In some cases, particularly if your cysts are large, causing significant symptoms, or suspected to be cancerous, surgical removal of the cyst or the affected ovary (oophorectomy) may be necessary to provide relief and ensure your health and well-being.
- Continued Support and Follow-Up: Throughout your ovarian cyst treatment journey, we will provide ongoing support, education, and follow-up care to ensure that your symptoms are effectively managed and that you feel empowered and informed about your treatment options.
