Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on your ovaries, often without warning. You might feel bloating and pelvic pain or notice changes in your period. Some women also experience pain during sex or frequent urination. At Femme Med and Spa, we’re here to listen and explore treatment options—no concern is too personal to talk about.
What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside your ovaries. Many cysts are harmless and go away on their own, especially those that occur during your regular menstrual cycle. However, some cysts can grow larger, cause discomfort, or signal health concerns. You might not even know you have one until symptoms—like bloating or pelvic pain—appear or a routine exam reveals it. We help you understand and manage what’s going on inside your body.
Signs & Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts
- Feeling bloated or full in your lower abdomen
- Dull or sharp pelvic pain that comes and goes
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
- Needing to urinate more often than usual
- Changes in your menstrual cycle or heavier bleeding
- Sudden, intense pain if a cyst ruptures
- Nausea or vomiting, especially with severe pain
Determine if You Have Ovarian Cysts
If you’re experiencing unusual pelvic pain, bloating, or changes in your cycle, it’s time to get answers. We start with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, followed by a pelvic exam and an ultrasound to get a view of your ovaries.
If needed, we’ll also run blood tests or hormone panels to uncover what’s causing the cysts. You’ll never be rushed—we’re here to listen, investigate thoroughly, and help you understand exactly what’s going on with your body.
Possible Risk Factors for Ovarian Cysts
- Hormonal changes related to your menstrual cycle
- Endometriosis tissue attaching to the ovaries
- Severe pelvic infections spreading to the ovaries
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects hormone levels
- A follicle not releasing an egg as expected
Personalized Treatments for Ovarian Cysts
Your treatment depends on your symptoms, the size and type of cyst, and overall health. If your cyst is small and not causing issues, we may monitor it with ultrasounds. If you’re in pain or the cyst is affecting your cycle, we might recommend hormonal birth control or other medications.
In some cases, surgical removal may be best. We’ll walk you through every option and tailor a plan that fits your needs—so you feel informed and in control of your care.
