Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. While many are harmless and resolve on their own, others can cause pain, menstrual problems, or interfere with fertility. At NUR Fertility in Nairobi, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cysts, including advanced laparoscopic surgery for cysts that require removal.
Whether you’re managing symptoms or concerned about fertility, our team offers personalized care and minimally invasive treatment options to protect your health and reproductive future.
Ovarian cysts are common in women of reproductive age and can develop as part of the menstrual cycle (functional cysts) or due to underlying conditions. Types of ovarian cysts include:
Follicular cysts
Corpus luteum cysts
Dermoid cysts
Endometriomas (associated with endometriosis)
Cystadenomas
Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous), but large, persistent, or painful cysts may need medical attention.
Some ovarian cysts cause no symptoms, while others may lead to:
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Bloating or pressure
Irregular menstrual cycles
Pain during intercourse
Difficulty emptying the bladder or frequent urination
Nausea or breast tenderness
In rare cases, a cyst may rupture or twist (ovarian torsion), causing severe pain and requiring emergency treatment.
At NUR Fertility, we begin with a detailed consultation and a pelvic examination. Diagnostic tools may include:
Pelvic ultrasound to assess size, shape, and characteristics of the cyst
Blood tests to evaluate hormone levels or rule out malignancy (e.g., CA-125 test)
MRI scans in select cases for further evaluation
Our specialists will determine whether the cyst can be monitored or if surgical treatment is necessary.
If the cyst is large, persistent, painful, or impacting fertility, we may recommend laparoscopic cystectomy — a minimally invasive surgery that removes the cyst while preserving the ovary. Benefits include:
Small incisions and minimal scarring
Faster recovery time
Reduced pain after surgery
Shorter hospital stay
Our surgical team takes great care to protect healthy ovarian tissue, especially for women who wish to conceive in the future.
Some cysts, such as endometriomas or large functional cysts, can interfere with ovulation or damage ovarian reserve. Treating these cysts properly can restore fertility potential and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. We also coordinate care with our fertility specialists when assisted reproductive treatment is needed.
