Ovarian Cyst Treatment
Overview
A female reproductive system is a complex mechanism. It is made up of many precise organs that need to sync well to make the entire reproductive system function appropriately. One such organ is the ovary which is probably one of the most crucial parts of this system. This part helps in forming eggs and secreting various hormones.
Sometimes, the ovary may develop certain sacs or cysts. Mostly these cysts are harmless. However, keeping track and getting regular checkups is important as these sacs can convert cancerous well.
What is an ovarian cyst?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled pockets (sacs) that frequently form in the ovary or on the ovary’s surface. Ovarian cysts are classified into several types. Ovarian cysts are common, but they usually go away on their own. Ovarian cysts do not always cause symptoms. You should be checked on a regular basis to see if you have any type of ovarian cysts. If an ovarian cyst twists, bleeds, or ruptures, it can cause complications. In severe cases, ovarian cyst removal surgery may be required to remove the cysts.
