Ovarian Cysts

Your provider will begin by discussing your health history, symptoms, and any patterns you’ve observed. A gentle pelvic exam may follow to check for swelling, tenderness, or other physical signs of a cyst. If needed, we’ll perform a transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound on-site to get a clearer look at your ovaries. Depending on your age and symptoms, we may also order blood tests to assess your hormone levels or rule out other conditions.

Once we have a complete picture, we’ll walk you through your results in plain language and explain what they mean for your health. Whether your cyst simply needs monitoring or further treatment, we’ll co-create a plan that fits your comfort level and goals. You’ll leave with clear next steps—and an open door to reach out with questions at any time.
