An ovarian cyst is a fluid—filled tumor. This disease is a very common pathology.
Types of cysts:
- A functional ovarian cyst is a temporary formation. Such cysts shrink and completely resolve after a few months.
- An organic ovarian cyst is a cyst with a dense capsule. The size of such a cyst does not decrease. The organic cyst must be removed.
Symptoms of an ovarian cyst if it reaches a large size and puts pressure on surrounding organs:
- abdominal pain;
- pressure in the pelvic area;
- constipation;
- bloating of the abdomen;
- irregular cycle;
- nausea, vomiting.
Diagnosis of ovarian cyst
Ovarian cysts are often detected during gynecological examinations, especially if a woman has menstrual irregularities or has chronic diseases of the genitals.
For effective treatment of ovarian cysts, an accurate diagnosis is performed abroad. If ovarian cysts are suspected, examinations are prescribed.:
- hormone analysis to determine the cause of the cyst;
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs;
- diagnostic laparoscopy;
- MRI scan;
- PET-CT scan.
Ovarian cyst treatment abroad
During the diagnosis process, it is established how much treatment is required and the likelihood of the cyst degenerating into a malignant pathology.
Ovarian cyst treatment abroad is selected depending on the size of the cyst and its type. Treatment can be conservative and surgical.
Conservative treatment includes:
- resorption therapy;
- hormone therapy;
- physical therapy;
- laser irradiation of the cyst.
If it was not possible to reduce the cyst using conservative methods, then the treatment of an ovarian cyst abroad involves surgical intervention.
A radical method of treating ovarian cysts abroad is the removal of the ovary. Such an operation is performed for women after the age of 50. Young women undergo laparoscopic surgery through natural openings (vagina, umbilical ring), preserving healthy ovarian tissue as much as possible. Such operations do not require long hospitalization and rehabilitation.
Preservation of reproductive abilities
Thanks to modern methods, the treatment of ovarian cysts abroad makes it possible to preserve the reproductive organs as much as possible. Unfortunately, if the cysts are too large, complete removal of the ovaries may be required. In this case, cryobanks are available where the patient can freeze her eggs for subsequent fertilization. In addition, if there is a suitable donor, an ovarian transplant can be performed.
