What Are Ovarian Cysts?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside the ovaries. Most cysts are harmless and resolve on their own without treatment.


In some cases, cysts may grow larger or persist, leading to discomfort or complications.


Common Types of Ovarian Cysts


Follicular Cysts

  • Develop when a follicle does not release an egg properly
  • Can continue to grow and form a cyst


Corpus Luteum Cysts

  • Occur after the follicle releases an egg
  • Fluid builds up in the hormone-producing structure


Less commonly, cysts may develop outside of the normal menstrual cycle.

What Are the Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts?

Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms and resolve naturally. However, larger or persistent cysts may cause:

  • Dull or nagging pelvic pain
  • Sharp pain on one side of the abdomen
  • Pelvic pressure or fullness
  • Bloating


When to Seek Immediate Care


Seek medical attention right away if you experience:

  • Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting



These symptoms may indicate a ruptured cyst or other complication.

When Should I See a Doctor for Ovarian Cysts?

You should schedule an evaluation if you experience:

Persistent pelvic pain

Recurrent or worsening symptoms

Changes in your menstrual cycle

Unexplained bloating or pressure

Ovarian cysts can share symptoms with conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic pain disorders, so an accurate diagnosis is important.

How Are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?

Your provider at Obstetricians & Gynecologists, PC will begin with:

  • A review of your symptoms and medical history
  • A pelvic exam

Diagnostic Testing May Include:

  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Additional tests if needed


These evaluations help determine the size, type, and cause of the cyst.

How Are Ovarian Cysts Treated?

Treatment depends on the size of the cyst, your symptoms, and your overall health.


Treatment Options Include:


Monitoring (Watchful Waiting)

  • Many cysts resolve on their own
  • Your provider may monitor symptoms over time


Hormonal Birth Control

  • Helps prevent the formation of new cysts


Minimally Invasive Surgery
