Finding out you have an ovarian cyst can sound alarming, but most are harmless and resolve on their own. Some do need closer monitoring or treatment, and that's where an accurate diagnosis matters most. Dr. Asna Zehra Naqvi provides the right management for ovarian cysts in Lucknow, from watchful waiting to advanced keyhole surgery when it's truly necessary.

- Sudden, severe pain (needs urgent care)
Types of Ovarian Cysts
Most are functional cysts linked to the menstrual cycle and clear up naturally. Others — such as dermoid cysts, endometriomas (chocolate cysts) and cystadenomas — may need treatment. Diagnosis identifies the type so management is appropriate.
How Ovarian Cysts Are Treated
- Ultrasound and assessment to understand the cyst type and size
- Monitoring for simple cysts that often resolve naturally
- Medication where appropriate
- Minimally invasive laparoscopic removal for larger, persistent or symptomatic cysts
Why Choose Dr. Asna Zehra Naqvi
With expertise in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, Dr. Asna favours the least invasive effective treatment — smaller scars, less pain and faster recovery — and explains everything clearly before any decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are ovarian cysts dangerous?
Most are benign and completely harmless — a proper assessment is what tells you whether it just needs watching or actually needs treatment.
Will surgery affect fertility?
Laparoscopic removal is done specifically to preserve healthy ovarian tissue and fertility wherever that's possible.
Do all cysts need surgery?
No, not at all — many resolve entirely on their own and just need to be monitored.
Can ovarian cysts come back?
Some types can, which is exactly why follow-up appointments matter — they catch any recurrence early.
