Radha (name changed), a vibrant 21-year-old from Indore, had a beautiful life with a loving family, caring friends, and fresh bursts of optimism that often accompany youth.
Just when everything was going well, Radha started experiencing weird symptoms, which included persistent lower abdominal pain, frequent bloating, and irregular menstrual cycles. This was sometime in August 2025.
Initially, she thought that these symptoms would go away by themselves, but unfortunately, they only grew more distressing as time went on. When these symptoms began affecting her day-to-day life, she decided to see a doctor locally.
Read this patient story until the end to find out how personalized ovarian cyst treatment at HCG helped Radha reclaim her life.
Initially, she consulted a local gynecological specialist, who recommended an ultrasound for insights into the underlying cause of her symptoms. The scan revealed enlarged ovaries with large cystic structures, internal echoes, and calcified areas. Following this, she wanted the best care for herself.
In September 2025, Radha arrived at HCG Cancer Centre, a comprehensive cancer hospital in Indore, and had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Renu Sharma, who is considered the best gynecologic oncologist in Indore.
After a detailed physical evaluation, Dr. Renu recommended an MRI scan. The results showed a bilateral-complex multiloculated cyst on the right ovary that exceeded 10 cm in size, as well as another large cyst on the left that exceeded 7 cm in size. A paraovarian cyst was also noted. The size and nature of these cysts explained every symptom Radha had been facing.
These features suggested the possibility of dermoid cysts, which are a form of benign tumor and can grow large and lead to considerable symptoms.
Ovarian cysts are becoming more common in women, but it's rare for women to have cysts in both ovaries. Bilateral ovarian cysts, or cysts in both ovaries, account for only 10-15% of ovarian cysts. This fact made Radha's ovarian cyst experience different from the rest. She required a customized treatment approach, and the care team at HCG was well-equipped to deliver the same.
Seeing Radha worried about her health, Dr. Renu reassured her that Radha's benign ovarian tumors were highly treatable, emphasizing the importance of timely surgery to avoid any complications.
Radha had a series of thorough preoperative tests for the doctors to ensure that she was ready for the procedure.
Her blood counts were within the normal range, the viral screening returned negative results, and her AMH level indicates that her ovarian reserve was healthy. These results reassured the team that it was possible to preserve fertility for Radha, at least on one side, despite the presence of large cysts.
These results brought a profound sense of relief to Radha and her family, who were genuinely worried about the potential impact of the diagnosis on her future.
Continue reading this patient success story to find out what treatment was planned to help Radha.
Radha's ovarian cyst treatment involved complex laparoscopic surgery. During the surgery, the surgeon observed that the right ovary had a large dermoid cyst involving the right fallopian tube and dense adhesions to the surroundings, along with a paraovarian cyst. Dense adhesions refer to the process of cyst tissue firmly stuck or latched onto nearby tissues and organs.
The left ovary, on the other hand, had a dumbbell-shaped dermoid cyst with dense adhesions, along with a paraovarian cyst.
The cysts were carefully removed, ensuring that the ovaries were preserved to safeguard her future fertility.
Although it is a complex surgical procedure, it was performed successfully, and the surgeon safely removed all of the tumor using an endobag, ensuring there was no spillage into the abdomen.
Radha's recovery brought comfort and hope from the very first day. Her discomfort was addressed with care, allowing her to take steps with support the following morning. With the support of medication, her digestive system has returned to a healthy state, and her surgical wounds are healing well and staying clean.
On the same day, she was able to move around comfortably. She was discharged three days after the procedure with clear follow-up instructions from Dr. Renu Sharma and her team.
Today, Radha is back home and has returned to her old life. She is no longer in pain and feels energized and strong both physically and emotionally.
Her journey highlights the importance of paying attention to symptoms and the necessity of pursuing prompt medical assistance, particularly when bodily changes linger beyond what is usual.
A key takeaway from Radha's story is the importance of paying attention to persistent symptoms in various parts of the body.
While these symptoms might appear insignificant initially, they can serve as important early signs of conditions that may need medical evaluation. She feels that awareness, early diagnosis, and guidance from the right specialist can truly transform lives, just as they did for her.
Radha's recovery shows how important it is to have skilled laparoscopic surgery and caring support from Dr. Renu Sharma and the HCG Indore team. Thanks to the prompt care and unwavering support from her medical team, she found the strength to confront a difficult diagnosis and embrace the future with renewed confidence.
