An ovarian cyst is a benign formation in the
ovaries which is caused due to hormonal imbalance of the female body.
Scientific publications state that they may form to any woman of childbearing
age. The cysts can be as small as a pea or even reach the size of several dozen
centimetres. Some women even may not notice the cysts. They can resolve themselves
causing only slight discomfort but just as well ovarian cysts can be the reason
why you cannot become pregnant. 

<h2>If you notice any of those
symptoms, apply for a visit to a gynaecologist…</h2>

Please visit your gynaecologist if any of those
symptoms apply to you:

<ul><li>Pain
in the lower abdomen (especially on one side), sudden, sharp pain, pain during
intercourse or pain in the lower back;</li><li>Changes
in menstrual bleeding;</li><li>Increased
breast sensitivity;</li><li>Nausea
and vomiting.</li></ul>







Usually, ovarian cysts are diagnosed during the
gynaecological ultrasound. It is a painless and harmless method of gynaecological
examination, with the help of which a woman's small pelvis, ovaries, fallopian
tubes, uterus, cervix, and small pelvic organs are examined. 

The above-mentioned symptoms should not be
ignored since ovarian cysts can be the reasons for infertility.

<h2>How are ovarian cysts
treated?</h2>

The treatment depends on the size and type of
the cyst, symptoms, and age of the patient.

Possibly the gynaecologist will first advise
waiting. Usually, the cyst resolves itself in 2-3 months, but if after repeated
examinations it has not disappeared the treatment of choice is a laparoscopy. It
is a harmless surgery through small holes in the abdomen. You can go home
already in the evening of the surgery or on the next day, however, the first
days should be spent in lenity: stay at home for a couple of days and take up
physical activities two weeks following the surgery. Just to be on the safe
side! 

Surgical treatment of ovarian cysts is rare. It
is necessary only if the cyst has not resolved within 3-4 months or becomes
different in the structure.

Pregnancy should be planned about 3 months
after the laparoscopic surgery but gynaecologist Vija Plūme says that it can
happen already in the next menstrual cycle.

Never miss the annual visit to your gynaecologist!
The visit is not only for a general inspection but also diagnostic since ultrasound
can detect formations such as cysts in the uterus and ovaries.
