The ovaries are located on both sides of the uterus, in the lower abdomen. Women have two ovaries, which are in charge of producing eggs, as well as progesterone and oestrogen. Cysts can form in the ovaries or on their surface. These ovarian cysts are pockets or sacs filled with fluid. Many women develop large cysts which are usually painless and produce no symptoms.

Ovarian cysts come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A functional cyst is the most frequent type of cyst, which is further subdivided into follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts.
Follicle cysts are sacs in the ovaries where an egg develops during a woman's menstrual cycle. When ovulation occurs, the follicle opens and the egg is discharged. If this does not occur, the fluid inside the follicle causes an ovarian cyst.
Corpus luteum cyst - Follicle sacs usually disintegrate once the egg is discharged. If the follicle does not disintegrate and its opening is plugged, this can result in the formation of extra fluid within the sac. A corpus luteum cyst develops as a result of the accumulation of this fluid.
Other types of ovarian cysts include: Cystadenomas, which are noncancerous growths that typically appear on the ovaries' outer surface.
Endometriomas occur when tissues that ordinarily grow inside the uterus expand outside of it and adhere to the ovaries.
A dermoid cyst is a sac-like development on the ovaries that may include fat, hair, or other tissue.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome occurs when a large number of tiny cysts form in the ovary.
Symptoms:Most ovarian cysts do not cause any symptoms. However, as it grows, some symptoms may appear, such as
These symptoms are generally an indication of ovarian torsion or ruptured cyst, and both require immediate medical attention.
An ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure that removes sac-like fluid pockets (cysts) from the ovary (a woman's reproductive organ). These cysts disrupt menstruation and induce infertility. The treatment can be performed using a variety of ways.
Laparoscopic surgery is a keyhole procedure in which small incisions are created on your tummy. Gas is injected into your abdomen to provide the surgeon access to your ovaries. Then, through these two to three holes, a small, tube-shaped microscope with a light at the end is put into your abdomen so your surgeon can inspect your internal organs, remove the cysts, and close the small cuts with dissolvable stitches.
Nowadays, laparoscopic surgery is preferable since it is less painful, has a faster recovery, a smaller scar, and a shorter hospital stay.
Laparoscopy is preferred for ovarian cystectomy since it is a less invasive and less painful procedure. Most patients are able to go home the same or following day after this operation.
Laparotomy - When the cyst is malignant or particularly large, a laparotomy, also known as an open ovarian cystectomy, is advised. Instead of making tiny cuts, a single bigger cut is made in the abdomen and the cyst is removed. Staples or stitches are used to seal the incision. The majority of patients are required to stay in the hospital for a few days following this surgery. If the cyst is considered to be malignant, it may be submitted to a laboratory for additional analysis.
Following a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, patients may have some pain in their tummy, for which pain medication is administered. The majority of patients recover in 6 to 8 weeks. All intense activity should be avoided for at least two weeks following surgery.
