What is an Ovarian Cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or inside an ovary. Ovaries are part of the female reproductive system and produce eggs as well as hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Most ovarian cysts are functional, meaning they form as part of the normal menstrual cycle. These are usually harmless and disappear on their own within a few months without treatment.
However, some cysts can grow large, cause symptoms, or rarely become cancerous. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatment ensure the best outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ovarian cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are functional and harmless, forming as part of the normal menstrual cycle. They typically resolve on their own within a few months without treatment.
What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?
Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include pelvic pain, bloating, feeling full quickly, irregular periods, and pain during intercourse. Severe sudden pain may indicate a ruptured cyst or ovarian torsion requiring emergency care.
Are ovarian cysts dangerous?
Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and harmless. However, large cysts, complex cysts, or those causing symptoms may require treatment. Complications like rupture or torsion can be serious. Regular monitoring is important, especially for cysts that persist or grow.
How are ovarian cysts diagnosed?
Ovarian cysts are typically diagnosed through pelvic examination and confirmed with transvaginal ultrasound. Additional tests may include blood tests (CA-125), MRI for complex cysts, and pregnancy test to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
Do all ovarian cysts need surgery?
No. Most functional cysts resolve on their own within 2-3 months and only need monitoring. Surgery is recommended for cysts that are large (>5cm), persistent, complex, causing severe symptoms, or suspicious for cancer.
Can ovarian cysts affect fertility?
Most ovarian cysts don't affect fertility. However, endometriomas (from endometriosis) and large cysts can impact fertility. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects ovulation and fertility. Treatment can often restore fertility.
What is laparoscopic cyst removal?
Laparoscopic cystectomy is minimally invasive surgery to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary. Small incisions are made, and the cyst is removed using specialized instruments. Recovery is faster than traditional open surgery.
How much does ovarian cyst treatment cost in Kathmandu?
Costs vary based on treatment type. Ultrasound monitoring: NPR 1,500-3,000. Laparoscopic surgery: NPR 50,000-150,000 depending on complexity. Consultation with Dr Rashmi Bastakoti for personalized cost estimate.
