Ovarian Cyst Treatment in Busan, Korea

Ovarian cysts are one of the most common gynecological conditions affecting women of all ages. While many ovarian cysts disappear naturally without treatment, others can cause pelvic pain, irregular periods, bloating, or fertility concerns and may require medical management.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists use advanced diagnostic techniques, including pelvic ultrasound, to accurately evaluate ovarian cysts and determine the most appropriate treatment based on your symptoms, age, and reproductive goals.

What Are Ovarian Cysts?

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on or within an ovary.

Many ovarian cysts are functional cysts that form during the normal menstrual cycle and often resolve on their own. However, some cysts may continue to grow, cause symptoms, or require further evaluation.

Common types include:

• Functional ovarian cysts
• Follicular cysts
• Corpus luteum cysts
• Endometriomas
• Dermoid cysts
• Cystadenomas

Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous), particularly in younger women.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Some ovarian cysts cause no symptoms, while others may lead to:

• Pelvic pain
• Lower abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Abdominal fullness or pressure
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Irregular menstrual periods
• Pain during ovulation
• Frequent urination due to pressure
• Difficulty becoming pregnant in some cases

Large cysts or complications such as ovarian torsion or rupture require immediate medical attention.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

Ovarian cysts may develop due to:

• Normal ovulation
• Hormonal imbalance
• Endometriosis
• Pregnancy
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Previous ovarian cysts
• Fertility medications

Most ovarian cysts are not preventable, but regular gynecological examinations can help detect them early.

How Are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?

Your evaluation may include:

• Medical history review
• Symptom assessment
• Pelvic examination
• Pelvic ultrasound
• Pregnancy test
• Blood tests
• Hormone evaluation
• Tumor marker testing when appropriate
• Follow-up ultrasound monitoring

Pelvic ultrasound is the primary imaging tool used to determine the size, appearance, and characteristics of an ovarian cyst.

Treatment for Ovarian Cysts

Treatment depends on the type, size, symptoms, and ultrasound findings.

Your treatment plan may include:

• Observation and follow-up
• Repeat pelvic ultrasound
• Pain management
• Hormonal birth control
• Hormonal therapy
• Treatment for endometriosis
• Monitoring during pregnancy
• Minimally invasive surgery when necessary
• Surgical removal of persistent or symptomatic cysts

Our specialists recommend treatment based on your individual condition while preserving ovarian function whenever possible.

When Should You See a Gynecologist?

You should seek medical evaluation if you experience:

• Persistent pelvic pain
• Severe lower abdominal pain
• Abdominal swelling or bloating
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Sudden severe pelvic pain
• Nausea or vomiting with pelvic pain
• A previously diagnosed ovarian cyst that is becoming more painful

Prompt evaluation is especially important if you develop sudden, severe pain, which may indicate ovarian torsion or cyst rupture.
