What does a gynecologist do about an ovarian cyst?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Ovarian cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that develop in a woman's ovaries. Most cysts are harmless, but some may cause problems such as rupturing, bleeding, or pain; and surgery may be required to remove the cyst(s).

Functional ovarian cysts are the most common type of ovarian cyst. They usually disappear by themselves and seldom require treatment. Growths that become abnormally large or last longer than a few months should be removed or examined to determine if they are a sign of a more serious condition.

Before an OB can perform any procedure, they will to determine first what type of cyst is present. Some might need just medical treatment and medications, while some would require surgeries.

In any case, you should not be scared. Bear in mind that by immediately seeking for medical help would reduce anymore possible risk, and that it could be easily prevented as early as possible.

Hope everything turns out okay. :)
