Not All Cysts Are Harmful — But Some Need Attention
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. While most are harmless and resolve on their own, others can interfere with ovulation, egg quality, or hormone balance — and sometimes even impact fertility.
At Sparsh IVF, we offer accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for ovarian cysts and fertility concerns. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF, identifying and managing cysts is often a key step toward success.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled growth that develops on an ovary. Many women develop small cysts during their menstrual cycles, and most are benign (non-cancerous).
However, the impact of a cyst depends on:
While some cysts are part of normal ovulation, others — especially when large or persistent — may disrupt fertility.
At Sparsh IVF, we differentiate between functional (harmless) and pathological (problematic) cysts:
| Cyst Type | Description | Impact on Fertility |
|---|---|---|
| Follicular Cyst | Common during ovulation | Usually harmless, self-resolving |
| Corpus Luteum Cyst | Occurs after ovulation | May delay next cycle, often resolves |
| Hemorrhagic Cyst | Bleeds internally | Can cause pain, sometimes surgery needed |
| Dermoid Cyst | Contains tissue (hair, fat) | Usually removed if large |
| Endometrioma | Caused by endometriosis | Affects egg quality, often needs treatment |
| Cystadenoma | Filled with watery/mucous fluid | Can grow large, may distort ovary |
| Polycystic Ovaries | Many tiny cysts (PCOS) | Linked to hormonal imbalance, anovulation |
Knowing what type of cyst is present is essential for deciding the next steps.
However, not every cyst needs treatment. At Sparsh IVF, we focus on individualized evaluation and avoid unnecessary interventions.
Most small cysts are asymptomatic. However, larger or pathological cysts may cause:
