Diagnostic Tests for ovarian cyst

To detect the presence, severity, and course of treatment for ovarian cysts, you may be recommended the following tests:

• Complete blood cell count: A CBC test is a complete blood test used to understand if you might have anemia, infection, or leukemia. It also helps a doctor understand how certain medications, diseases, or treatments may have affected your bloodstream. The test is simple and takes only a few minutes. It is done by taking a blood sample by a needle through your vein in the arm. You can continue your work after. Note: It does not need fasting and you can eat and drink whatever you like before the test. The lab results may take well over 6-9 hours after the test. )
• Blood sugar test: A blood sugar test is done to screen for diabetes. It’s done by pricking the finger and testing the blood sample on a glucose meter strip. The results take only 10-20 seconds and alerts for high/ low blood sugar levels and glycosylated hemoglobin. (Note: The test must be done on fasting, that is, you cannot eat or drink before the test.)
• Thyroid test: A thyroid test is a blood test that tests for TSH, that is, the thyroid-stimulating hormone in the bloodstream. It thus helps screen both- hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The test is done by taking a small blood sample through a needle in your arm vein. You can continue your work right after. (Note: It is done on fasting. That is, you cannot eat or drink anything before the test. )
• Liver function test: Liver function test screens for any abnormalities caused due to liver malfunctioning and rule out any other cause for abdominal pain. The test is done by taking a blood sample through a vein in your arm. (Note: It is done on fasting, that is, you cannot eat anything 10-12 hours before the test.)
• Kidney function test: A kidney function test is done either through a blood sample by an arm vein or through a 24-hour urine sample collected yourself in a sterile container. Both ways, it helps rule out any diseases caused due to liver malfunctioning and rule out all parallel reasons for abdominal pain other than the ovarian cyst. (Note: It is not a fasting test. You can both- eat and drink before the test. )
• Chest X-ray: Chest X-Ray is a quick, non-invasive test of the chest area and helps have an internal image of your heart, lungs, and bones. It is done to screen out any other conditions for abdominal pain other than the ovarian cyst itself. (Note: It is not a fasting test. You can both- eat and drink before the test. )
• Abdominal ultrasound and/or CT scan and MRI: Abdominal ultrasound, CT Scan or MRI are imaging tests that provide an internal image of your abdomen and hence help understand the probable disease, its size, type, and severity. (Note: These are not fasting tests. You can both- eat and drink before the test. )

Treatment

Ovarian Cystectomy can be performed in two ways- advanced and conventional.

• Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy (Advanced Method)
  As the name suggests, it is performed using a laparoscope, that is, a tiny tube-like instrument with a camera and light on its end. First, the surgeon creates a tiny hole (main port) on the diseased site. Through this, they inject CO2 gas into the patient’s abdominal wall to lift it above the intestine and create better visibility. If needed, 1-2 more small ports may be created to insert necessary surgical instruments. Thereafter, a small camera and light (laparoscope) are passed through the main port to provide maximum visibility and improve the preciseness of the operation. Monitoring the site through the digital screen, the surgeon removes the cyst through the main port and closes it through a stapler or 1-2 stitches. The other smaller ports heal naturally. Mostly, the patient can go home the same day and substantial recovery can be expected within 2-3 days.

• Open Cut Ovarian Cystectomy (Conventional Method)
  As the name suggests, it is done through an open-cut incision on the diseased site. The surgeon then removes the troubling cyst and closes the incision through stitches. The method is usually recommended only in case of an exceptionally large, cancerous, or complicated ovarian cyst. It is comparatively more invasive and involves heavier blood loss, visible post-surgical scars, and a longer recovery period.
