Common Types of Cysts
Not all cysts are the same. Correct diagnosis is key to the right treatment.
Functional Cysts
The most common type — fluid-filled sacs that form during ovulation. Typically harmless and resolve within 2-3 menstrual cycles without treatment. Monitoring via ultrasound is usually sufficient.
Dermoid Cysts
Also called mature teratomas, these contain tissues like hair, fat, or teeth. They grow slowly but won't resolve on their own and may twist the ovary (torsion), requiring surgical removal.
Endometriomas
Known as 'chocolate cysts' due to their dark blood content, these are caused by endometriosis. They can cause severe pain, damage ovarian tissue, and significantly impact fertility if left untreated.
Cystadenomas
Develop from the outer surface of the ovary, filled with watery or mucous fluid. Can grow very large (10-30cm) and cause abdominal distension, requiring careful laparoscopic excision.
Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
Most cysts are silent. But when symptoms appear, they demand attention.
Pelvic Pain & Cramping
A persistent dull ache or sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen, typically on the side of the cyst. Pain may worsen during intercourse, exercise, or bowel movements.
Bloating & Abdominal Pressure
Persistent feeling of fullness, heaviness, or swelling in the lower belly. Large cysts can press on the bladder causing frequent urination, or on the bowel causing constipation.
Irregular or Heavy Periods
Changes in menstrual flow — heavier bleeding, spotting between periods, or missed cycles. Endometriomas are notorious for causing painful, irregular menstruation.
Difficulty Conceiving
Endometriomas and large cysts can disrupt ovulation and damage healthy ovarian tissue, making it harder to get pregnant. Early evaluation protects your fertility window.
Emergency: Sudden Severe Pain
Sudden, intense pelvic pain with nausea and vomiting may indicate cyst rupture or ovarian torsion (twisting). This is a surgical emergency — seek immediate care.
Fertility-Preserving Ovarian Surgery
by Dr. Vinita Khemani
Every woman's journey is unique. Dr. Khemani tailors each treatment plan to your specific needs and health goals.
Fertility Preservation
Our primary goal is to remove the cyst while meticulously preserving maximal healthy ovarian tissue. Dr. Khemani uses careful dissection techniques to protect the ovarian blood supply and egg reserve (AMH), safeguarding your future ability to conceive naturally or via IVF.
Minimally Invasive
Utilizing advanced 3D HD laparoscopic technology, we operate through tiny 5mm incisions. This keyhole approach ensures minimal blood loss, significantly reduced post-operative pain, and almost invisible scarring, allowing you to walk the same day and return to work within a week.
Long-Term Wellness
Surgery is just one step. To prevent cyst recurrence—especially with endometriosis—we provide a holistic long-term plan involving hormonal management, dietary modifications, and lifestyle counseling. We treat the root cause, not just the symptom, promoting complete hormonal balance.
Ovarian Cysts:
When to Worry, When to Wait
Ovarian cysts are extremely common — studies show that nearly every woman of reproductive age develops at least one ovarian cyst during her lifetime. The vast majority of these are functional cysts that resolve on their own within 2-3 menstrual cycles without any treatment.
However, certain types of cysts — dermoid cysts, endometriomas (chocolate cysts), and cystadenomas — require careful evaluation and may need surgical removal. The key concern is always: Is it cancerous? Modern ultrasound techniques and tumor markers (CA-125) can help differentiate benign from suspicious cysts with high accuracy.
Dr. Vinita Khemani's approach prioritizes ovarian conservation. Unlike some surgeons who default to removing the entire ovary, Dr. Khemani performs laparoscopic cystectomy — removing only the cyst while preserving the healthy ovarian tissue. This is especially critical for younger women who wish to preserve their fertility. Her meticulous surgical technique ensures minimal damage to the surrounding ovarian tissue, protecting the ovarian reserve.
Concerned About an Ovarian Cyst?
Not every cyst needs surgery. Get expert evaluation to understand your options and find the right course of action.
Precision surgery that
Protects your fertility
Every cystectomy is planned with one goal: remove the disease, preserve the ovary, and protect your reproductive future.
Pre-Surgical Tumor Marker Evaluation
Every cyst undergoes CA-125, HE4, and ultrasound morphology assessment before surgery. This triple-check protocol ensures we identify any suspicious features and plan the safest surgical approach.
Ovarian Reserve Protection
Using precise stripping technique instead of cautery-heavy methods, Dr. Khemani minimizes thermal damage to surrounding follicles — preserving your AMH levels and egg reserve for future pregnancies.
3D HD Laparoscopy
Depth perception that enables millimeter-precise cyst wall separation from healthy ovarian tissue.
Same-Day Discharge in Most Cases
Laparoscopic cystectomy typically takes 45-90 minutes. With just 3 tiny incisions (5mm each), most patients go home the same day and return to normal activities within 5-7 days.
