Answers and Treatment for Your Peace of Mind 

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or inside one of your ovaries. While most cysts are benign (noncancerous) and cause no symptoms, some may require evaluation and treatment. We are here to provide you with personalized care for ovarian cysts.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts :

Many women with ovarian cysts experience no symptoms at all. However, some may experience:

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Bloating

• Irregular periods

• Painful intercourse

• Difficulty getting pregnant

Diagnosis and Treatment: 

We will work with you to understand your individual situation.

We may recommend a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or other tests to diagnose the type and nature of your cyst.

For most ovarian cysts, a "watch and see" approach is often recommended. However, if your cyst is causing symptoms, grows rapidly, or appears suspicious, we offer complete laparoscopic management.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows for cyst removal with minimal recovery time.

Don't hesitate to seek help!

We understand that ovarian cysts can be concerning. Our goal is to provide you with clear information, reassurance, and the treatment options you need.

Ovarian Cysts

Bartholin's glands are located on either side of the vaginal opening and produce fluid that helps lubricate during sex.Sometimes, the duct that carries this fluid can become blocked, leading to the formation of a Bartholin's cyst. These cysts are usually painless and may not require any treatment.

However, if a Bartholin's cyst becomes infected, it can turn into an abscess, which is a painful, pus-filled lump.

Symptoms of Bartholin's Cyst :

• Painless lump near the vaginal opening.

• Discomfort during sexual intercourse.

• Painful, red, and swollen lump near the vaginal opening.

• Difficulty sitting or walking

• Fever

Treatment Options for Bartholin's Cysts and Abscesses:

We offer a personalized approach to treat Bartholin's cysts and abscesses, depending on the severity of your condition. Some treatment options we may recommend include:

Warm Sitz Baths:

Soaking in a warm tub filled with a few inches of water several times a day can help a small cyst or abscess drain on its own.

Antibiotics:

If your cyst is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed to clear the infection.

Drainage Procedures:

In some cases, we may perform a simple procedure in the office to drain the cyst or abscess.

Marsupialization:

This outpatient surgery creates a new opening in the cyst wall to allow for drainage and prevent future blockage.

When to See a Doctor ?

If you experience a painful lump near your vaginal opening, especially if it's red, swollen, or accompanied by fever, it's important to schedule an appointment with us for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Making informed choices

Uterovaginal prolapse is a common condition where the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, lose their supportive structures and weaken, causing them to bulge down into the vagina. While not life-threatening, it can cause significant discomfort and affect your quality of life.

Common Symptoms:

Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis.

A bulge or sensation of something coming out of the vagina.

Difficulty urinating or incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Urinary incontinence (leakage).

Difficulty having a bowel movement.

Pain during intercourse.

Diagnosis and Treatment: 

Pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels):

These exercises strengthen the muscles that support the pelvic organs.

Pessaries:

These are silicone inserts worn in the vagina to provide support to the pelvic organs.

Vaginal Hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair:

This minimally invasive surgery removes the uterus and repairs the supporting tissues of the vagina and pelvic floor. This may be the best option for women who no longer desire children and have significant prolapse.

Uterovaginal prolapse can be a source of embarrassment and frustration.
