Does left ovarian cyst need treatment?

Whether a left ovarian cyst requires treatment depends on the size of the cyst, the symptoms it presents, and the impact it has on your health. An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that usually forms on its own in the ovary. Most ovarian cysts are functional and resolve on their own within a few months. Smaller cysts are usually harmless and asymptomatic and do not require specific treatment. However, larger cysts may cause abdominal pain or discomfort and require further medical evaluation.

Most ovarian cysts are discovered incidentally during a routine gynecological examination or ultrasound. If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, your doctor may recommend regular monitoring to ensure that the cyst does not increase in size. Intervention may be required when the cyst is larger than 5 cm in diameter or is accompanied by symptoms such as severe pain and irregular menstruation. In some cases, such as cyst rupture or torsion, it may cause acute pain or other complications, which require prompt medical attention.

If you notice symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, bloating, or persistent pain, consult your doctor as soon as possible. Unless the cyst is considered potentially harmful or causing discomfort, your doctor may take a conservative observation approach. If symptoms are severe, your doctor may recommend surgical intervention. Regular gynecological examinations and a reasonable lifestyle can help detect and treat ovarian cysts early. Pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid excessive stress, and improve your body's immunity to reduce the possibility of cysts. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.
