Dr Jasdev Singh
Ovarian Cysts
Most cysts on the ovary are harmless and settle on their own. Careful scanning shows which ones need monitoring or treatment.
General Gynaecology
Knowing which cysts need attention and which can be watched
An ovarian cyst is a fluid filled sac on or in the ovary. Many form as part of the normal cycle and disappear without treatment. Others, such as endometriomas or dermoid cysts, may need monitoring or surgery.
Being told you have a cyst can be frightening. Most are not cancer, and many need no treatment.
Dr Jasdev explains what type of cyst you have, and plans any treatment with your fertility in mind.
Your symptoms taken seriously
Your history, symptoms and any past results are reviewed before a plan is suggested.
Options explained clearly
You will hear the benefits, limits and risks of each option, including simply monitoring.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around your diagnosis, how treatment is working and any plans for pregnancy.

How your care is planned
Each step is designed to answer what is causing your symptoms, what matters most to you, and what to do next. The plan is reviewed as results come in.

Agree monitoring or surgery
Types of cyst and treatment
Functional cysts are linked to ovulation and usually go within a few cycles. Endometriomas are linked to endometriosis. Dermoid cysts contain different types of tissue. Larger, persistent or unusual cysts may be removed by laparoscopy, keeping as much healthy ovary as possible.
Who may benefit
Women with a cyst found on scan, pelvic pain or pressure, or a cyst that has not gone away. Sudden severe pain may mean a twisted or burst cyst and needs urgent care.
What to expect
Your scan results are reviewed, and a repeat scan is often arranged after a few weeks. Blood tests may be done for certain cysts. If surgery is advised, the approach and recovery are explained in detail.

He combines gynaecology and fertility experience with clear, unhurried explanations. Treatment choices follow current evidence and take your future pregnancy plans into account. You will always know why a test or treatment is being suggested. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

What is an ovarian cyst?
