Identifying and Diagnosing Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid filled sacs that form on one or both of the ovaries. They are most common in woman of child bearing age as they are generally occur during ovulation. A follicle forms on the ovary in preparation to release an egg. This is often referred to as a functional cyst. When the egg is released the cyst shrinks back into the ovary. However in some cases, when an egg is not released, the cyst stays and can get bigger. It may have no outward signs and symptoms of ovarian cysts and may eventually shrink back into the ovarian tissue. However some may get bigger and may cause pain and discomfort.

So if you suspect that you have an ovarian cyst how can this be confirmed. How can you identify and diagnose ovarian cysts ?

There are three ways to do this.

The first is a simple pelvic examination by a doctor or qualified medical practitioner. This is essentially a first look by the doctor. If he/she can confirm that an ovarian cyst is present or even if he/she can’t, then a second more accurate method might be recommended.

The second method is a pelvic ultrasound. The ultrasound is the same principle that is employed to check on a fetus in the womb. Sound waves are passed through the pelvic area and they build a picture of your uterus and ovaries. From this picture, you should be able to confirm the existence of a cyst and other aspects like size and location.

The third method is an invasive procedure and is effectively the definitive method to confirm the existence and nature of an ovarian cyst. It involves cutting a small hole into the pelvic area and inserting a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a small, maneuverable camera. The surgeon can move the laparscope around the uterus and examine the ovarian cysts in great detail. At this stage the decision to remove the ovarian cyst may also be made.
