Diagnostic Tests for Ovarian Cysts

To assess the size, type, and risk level of an ovarian cyst, the following tests may be recommended:

• Pelvic Sonography (Ultrasound) – First-line imaging tool

• CT Scan or MRI – For detailed evaluation, especially in complex or large cysts

• Blood tests or tumor markers – Including CA-125, HE4, and others to assess malignancy risk

When is Treatment Needed?

• Small, functional cysts often resolve on their own and only need monitoring with repeat sonography.

• Persistent, large, or symptomatic cysts usually require surgical removal.

• If there are suspicious features or tumor markers are elevated, further evaluation and treatment are needed.

Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cysts

At ISHA Care, Dr. Kaushal performs laparoscopic cyst removal, which is a minimally invasive procedure. This allows:

• Precise peeling of the cyst wall from the ovary

• Preservation of healthy ovarian tissue (especially important for fertility)

• Quick recovery with minimal scarring

• Sample collection for histopathology (biopsy) to rule out malignancy

Note: In cases where a cyst is suspected to be cancerous, laparoscopy may not be advisable, and an open surgery may be required for safe removal and staging.
