Fibroid & Ovarian Cyst Treatment

Fibroid and Ovarian Cyst Treatment------34

Uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts are among the most common gynecological conditions affecting women of reproductive age. While often benign, they can cause a range of symptoms such as heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination, or even infertility in some cases. Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment and typically involves a combination of pelvic examination, ultrasound imaging, and, when needed, MRI or blood tests to assess hormonal levels or rule out malignancy.

The treatment approach for fibroids and ovarian cysts depends on factors such as size, type, location, severity of symptoms, and the woman’s age or desire for future fertility. Medical management may include hormonal therapy to regulate menstrual bleeding and shrink fibroids or functional cysts. Pain relief medications and lifestyle modifications may also be part of conservative management, especially when the cysts or fibroids are small and asymptomatic. Regular monitoring is crucial in such cases to detect any progression early.

For women with persistent symptoms, large fibroids, or complex ovarian cysts, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is often the preferred option. Procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy or ovarian cystectomy allow for precise removal while preserving reproductive organs. In some cases, hysteroscopic resection or hysterectomy may be advised. These advanced techniques offer faster recovery, minimal scarring, and improved fertility outcomes. Personalized care and early intervention ensure optimal results, allowing women to regain their comfort, confidence, and reproductive health without delay.
