Ovarian cysts are a common occurrence that actually happens during healthy ovulation. While the word cyst may seem scary, most come and go with no symptoms or signs and do not cause any problems. However, in some instances, a cyst may not go away or it may grow large enough to require attention. At Pacific Women’s Center, we have the technology and experience to diagnose and treat all types of ovarian cysts.
While ovarian cysts are most common during your childbearing years, they can occur at any age. Though most cysts are harmless, they can cause a number of health issues if persistent or enlarged. In rare cases, a cyst may even be cancerous. Because of these issues, it is important to evaluate each patient and her individual case.
