Gynecology
Ovarian cysts
Assessment and treatment of cysts on the ovaries.
What it is

Who it's for
Women with pelvic pain or a cyst found on ultrasound.
What to expect
- Ultrasound and sometimes blood tests
- Repeat scans for simple cysts
- Laparoscopic cystectomy that preserves the ovary when surgery is needed
