Ovarian Cystectomy in Belleville,NJ
An ovarian cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a cyst or cysts from one or both of the ovaries. An ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that may grow in or on an ovary. This surgery will confirm the diagnosis of an ovarian cyst, remove a cyst that may be causing problems, and rule-out if the cyst was cancerous.
The most common symptom of an ovarian cyst is pain in the pelvic and/or abdominal areas, although some ovarian cysts are asymptomatic. An ovarian cystectomy may be recommended if cysts are present in or on both ovaries, if the cyst is larger than 3 inches, if it does not go away or get smaller within a few months, if you have never had a menstrual cycle, are postmenopausal, or use birth control pills. Any of these conditions call for the removal of the cyst to preserve the ovary and your fertility, if possible.
