Question 1

best way to treat an ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What it is, why its there, and how long its been there.

Question 2

can ovarian cyst  be treated n how ?

Accepted Answer

Patience vs. Surgery: Most ovarian cysts in young women are "functional cysts", which evolve from a follicle that you ovulate from, then grow and finally resolve spontaneously over several weeks.  Birth control pills do not speed up the resolution, but do decrease recurrences.
If the cyst persists then surgery, often laparoscopic, is necessary to remove the cyst and have it tested for cancer.

Question 3

can ovarian cysts be treated and how so?

Accepted Answer

For prevention...: The Ob-Gyn doctor may recommend birth control pills to reduce the chance of new cysts developing in future menstrual cycles. Birth control pills contain hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, may prevent the formation of follicles that can turn into cysts, and can possibly (but typically not) reduce the size of an existing cyst.

Question 4

if no pain is felt, how do ovarian cysts get treated?

Accepted Answer

Progestin: We either "watch and wait" on simple cysts or sometimes use progestin therapy for 10-14 days.

Question 5

can an ovarian cyst of 5250mm in dimension be treated non-surgically?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type : It depends on what type of cyst it is. The most common type of cysts are simple, functional cysts. These arise from ovulating but then get bigger. They are benign (not cancerous) and can be watched as they usually resolve on their own. If it is a different kind of cyst like a dermoid or endometrioma, then surgery may be necessary.

Question 6

how big is a 3.2 x 4.8 x 5.0 ovarian cyst? what can i do to treat it?.  im afraid it could grow bigger or even cause any serious problems.

Accepted Answer

Above average size.: Those measurements are in centimeters, so about and 1.5x2x2 inches. Most cysts are a bit smaller. However, it's not uncommon for women your age to have ovarian cysts. Most rupture on there own, and may cause pain when they do. Your ob/gyn will guide you regarding management. If a cyst is painful, or continues to grow it may need intervention, but usually not.

Question 7

how is an ovarian cyst treated in a teenager?

Accepted Answer

Depends on many fact: Factors like the size, is it a simple cyst or not , is there any pain or not , if it is a simple fluid filled benign looking cyst that is not too large or causing too much pain then often times birth control pills can shrink the cyst and prevent future cysts from forming, if it is not simple then the diagnosis and txment options are totatlly differnet so the gyn can discuss all of this with you.

Question 8

what doctor treats ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

Gynecologist: A gynecologist, internist, family practice doctor, or possibly an endocrinologist.

Question 9

13mm ovarian cyst. can it be treated with medications or surgery?

Accepted Answer

Insignificant? : That's a very small cyst, and could just be related to corpus luteum. I suspect nothing will be necessary but time. If some symptoms are persistent, keep in touch with your doctor. Good luck.

Question 10

i have a 5cm ovarian cyst with a trace of free fluid, how can i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: The cyst may resolve by itself with no particular intervention. I would recommend a follow up ultrasound in 1 - 2 months. Sometimes they will resolve on birth control pills. If the cyst persists, it may need to be removed laparoscopically - an operation with small incisions.
