Dr Shikha Sardana provides expert diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cysts with a focus on preserving fertility and improving women's reproductive health. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within the ovaries and may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, bloating, or discomfort. While many cysts are harmless and resolve naturally, some require medical evaluation and treatment.
Our comprehensive approach includes a detailed medical history, pelvic examination, ultrasound imaging, and additional diagnostic tests when necessary to accurately identify the type and size of the cyst. We treat a wide range of ovarian cysts, including functional ovarian cysts, endometriomas, dermoid cysts, and other benign ovarian masses.
Based on the diagnosis, Dr Shikha Sardana develops a personalized treatment plan that may include observation, medication, hormonal therapy, or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery when required. Using evidence-based medical practices and advanced surgical techniques, we aim to relieve symptoms, preserve ovarian function, protect fertility, and promote long-term gynecological health.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is an ovarian cyst?
A. An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. Many cysts are harmless and may disappear on their own, while others may require medical treatment.
Q2. What symptoms can ovarian cysts cause?
A. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, irregular menstrual periods, pain during intercourse, or a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen. Some cysts may not cause any symptoms.
Q3. How are ovarian cysts diagnosed?
A. Diagnosis usually involves a medical history, pelvic examination, ultrasound scan, and, when needed, additional laboratory tests or imaging studies.

A. Treatment may include observation, medications, hormonal therapy, or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, depending on the type and severity of the cyst.
