An ovarian cyst is a common gynecological condition that affects women of all age groups, especially during the reproductive years. While many ovarian cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some may cause discomfort, hormonal imbalance, or fertility concerns if left untreated. Early diagnosis and expert medical guidance are key to effective management.
Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee, an experienced Gynecologist, provides comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for ovarian cysts, ensuring optimal reproductive and overall health for her patients.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled or semi-solid sac that develops on or inside one of the ovaries. In many cases, cysts form as part of the normal menstrual cycle and disappear naturally. However, certain types of cysts may grow larger, persist, or cause symptoms that require medical attention.
Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous), but proper assessment is essential to rule out complications and decide the right course of treatment.
Ovarian cysts can vary in type and cause:
These are the most common and include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts. They usually develop during ovulation and often resolve without treatment.
Seen in PCOS/PCOD, where multiple small cysts develop due to hormonal imbalance and irregular ovulation.
Caused by endometriosis, these cysts may be associated with pelvic pain and fertility issues.
Benign cysts containing tissue such as hair or fat, usually requiring surgical removal.
Less common but require careful evaluation to rule out malignancy.
Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee carefully identifies the type of cyst before planning treatment.

Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee ensures accurate diagnosis while explaining findings clearly to help patients understand their condition.
Treatment depends on the cyst’s type, size, symptoms, age of the patient, and fertility plans.
Small, symptom-free cysts may only require regular follow-up and ultrasound monitoring.
Hormonal medications may be prescribed to regulate cycles, reduce cyst formation, or control pain.
Weight management, dietary guidance, and treatment of underlying hormonal disorders play a vital role.
If the cyst is large, persistent, painful, or suspicious, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended for safe removal while preserving ovarian tissue whenever possible.
Certain ovarian cysts can interfere with ovulation and fertility. Early detection and proper management can significantly improve reproductive outcomes. Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee gives special attention to fertility preservation, especially for women planning pregnancy.
