Ovarian Cyst Treatment Specialist in Houston, TX

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside a woman’s ovaries. While most cysts are a natural part of the menstrual cycle, some may require expert evaluation and care. We specialize in comprehensive women’s health, offering advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment for ovarian cysts and related reproductive issues.

The most common cause of ovarian cysts is the normal functioning of the menstrual cycle. Each month, your ovaries produce follicles that contain eggs. Sometimes, a follicle doesn’t release its egg and instead continues to grow, forming a functional cyst. These are usually harmless and often resolve on their own.

Other potential causes include:

Hormonal Imbalances: Disruptions in hormone levels can affect follicle development and ovulation, increasing the risk of cyst formation.

Ovulation-Inducing Medications: Certain fertility treatments can increase the likelihood of developing cysts.

Endometriosis: Endometrial tissue can attach to the ovary and form endometriomas.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This common hormonal condition causes multiple small cysts on the ovaries.

Infections and Rare Growths: Less commonly, infections or tumors (benign or malignant) can lead to cysts.

While most ovarian cysts are benign, some may cause pain, irregular periods, or complications. Our experienced team uses state-of-the-art imaging and laboratory testing to accurately diagnose ovarian cysts and determine their cause.

We offer a full spectrum of care, including:

Personalized Monitoring: Tracking cyst size and changes over time with regular ultrasounds.

Hormonal Evaluation and Balancing: Addressing underlying hormonal imbalances with evidence-based therapies.

Regenerative Medicine Approaches: Where appropriate, we integrate leading-edge regenerative treatments to support ovarian health and reproductive function.

Minimally Invasive Procedures: If intervention is needed, we provide advanced minimally invasive options for cyst removal or management.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, bloating, or irregular periods—or if you’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cysts— we are here to help. Our compassionate team is dedicated to providing the highest standard of reproductive health care, empowering you with the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Our experienced healthcare team specializes in the comprehensive evaluation and management of ovarian cysts, providing personalized care designed to ensure your health and peace of mind.

When you visit us with symptoms such as pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, or irregular menstrual cycles, our providers begin with a detailed review of your medical and gynecological history. We take the time to listen to your concerns, discuss your symptoms, and understand any relevant family history that may impact your risk.

A thorough pelvic examination is performed in our modern, comfortable office to assess for any tenderness or swelling that could indicate the presence of an ovarian cyst. To confirm the diagnosis and plan the best course of care, we utilize advanced imaging technology.

As part of our comprehensive approach, we may also recommend blood tests to evaluate hormone levels or to assess tumor markers like CA-125, particularly when there is a concern for more complex cysts. Our providers will discuss all findings with you, explaining what they mean and answering any questions you may have.

In select cases, if a cyst appears unusual or persists over time, our board-certified physicians can perform minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy, to directly observe the ovaries and obtain tissue samples when necessary.

We’re dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care for all aspects of women’s health—including the evaluation and management of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or inside an ovary. Often, these cysts cause no noticeable symptoms and may be discovered during a routine pelvic examination or imaging study at our clinic.

However, when symptoms do occur, they can include pelvic pain or a dull ache in the lower abdomen, feelings of fullness or bloating, and sometimes changes in your menstrual cycle. You may also notice discomfort during intercourse, bowel movements, or frequent or urgent urination if a cyst is pressing on the bladder.

In rare cases, if a cyst ruptures or causes the ovary to twist (ovarian torsion), you may experience sudden, severe pain, nausea, or vomiting. These situations require immediate medical attention, and our team is ready to provide prompt, expert care.

Because the symptoms and severity of ovarian cysts can vary, it’s important not to ignore persistent pelvic pain, unexplained abdominal swelling, or sudden, severe abdominal pain. Our experienced providers utilize advanced diagnostic tools and a personalized approach to ensure you receive the most appropriate evaluation and treatment.

We understand that a diagnosis of an ovarian cyst can be concerning. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or within the ovaries. While many ovarian cysts are harmless and may even resolve on their own, others can cause discomfort, pain, or complications that require medical attention.

Using advanced diagnostic tools, such as high-resolution pelvic ultrasounds available in our office, we monitor ovarian cysts closely. In many cases, especially with functional cysts related to the menstrual cycle, a “watchful waiting” approach is recommended. This involves periodic ultrasounds and check-ups to ensure your cyst is resolving appropriately.

If your ovarian cyst is causing symptoms or has features that require further intervention, our team offers a range of treatment options:

Conservative Management: For mild symptoms, we may recommend pain relief with over-the-counter medications and regular monitoring.

Hormonal Therapy: For women experiencing recurrent cysts, our providers can discuss hormonal contraceptives to help regulate ovulation and reduce the risk of future cysts.

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Should surgery become necessary we offer minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures whenever possible. Our surgical specialists are skilled in both cystectomy (removal of just the cyst) and oophorectomy (removal of the ovary), always prioritizing your health and fertility preferences.

We believe in collaborative decision-making. We take the time to discuss all available options with you, address your questions, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your health goals and lifestyle.
