Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ovarian cyst?

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on the surface or inside the ovary. It can be functional, related to the natural processes of the menstrual cycle, or pathological, requiring medical intervention.

What are the main symptoms of an ovarian cyst?

The most common symptoms include pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, irregular menstruation, a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area, pain during sexual intercourse, as well as nausea or general weakness. However, cysts are often discovered accidentally during routine examinations.

How does a doctor diagnose a cyst?

To make an accurate diagnosis, an ultrasound examination (ultrasound) of the pelvic organs is performed, as well as laboratory blood tests, including a hormone profile. In addition, the doctor conducts a consultation and collects the patient's medical history.

Is it always necessary to treat a cyst surgically?

No. Treatment depends on the size, type of cyst and symptoms. Many functional cysts disappear on their own without intervention, requiring only monitoring and drug therapy. Surgical treatment is prescribed for large, pathological or complicated cysts.

What treatment methods are used at the ZDRAVO clinic?

We use an individual approach: conservative therapy with drugs that regulate hormonal balance and, if necessary, modern minimally invasive surgical methods. Our doctors closely monitor the patient's condition to prevent complications.

Does a cyst affect reproductive function?

Most functional cysts do not have a negative impact on fertility and may disappear without consequences. Pathological cysts or those that cause complications may require treatment to preserve reproductive health.
