Ovarian Cystectomy (Ovarian Cyst Removal)

Advanced Gynaecological Care with a Focus on Ovarian Preservation

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in or on the ovaries. While many cysts resolve on their own, some may require medical evaluation or surgical treatment depending on their size, appearance, symptoms and potential complications.

Ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an ovarian cyst while preserving the ovary whenever medically appropriate. Dr. Alankrita Pandey provides personalised assessment and guidance to help women understand their diagnosis and explore suitable treatment options.

What Is Ovarian Cystectomy?

Ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure in which a cyst is removed from the ovary while leaving as much healthy ovarian tissue intact as possible.

The procedure may be considered for persistent, large, symptomatic or suspicious cysts. The recommended treatment depends on the type of cyst, the patient’s age, medical history, symptoms and future fertility plans.

Common Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Many ovarian cysts cause no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:

  • Pelvic pain or discomfort

  • Abdominal bloating or a feeling of fullness

  • Pain during sexual intercourse

  • Changes in menstrual patterns

  • Frequent urination due to pressure on the bladder

  • Sudden, severe pelvic pain if a complication occurs

Sudden severe pelvic pain, particularly with vomiting, fever, dizziness or fainting, requires urgent medical evaluation.
