Ovarian Cysts (cont.)

Self-Care at Home

Pain caused by ovarian cysts may be treated at home with pain relievers, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol), or narcotic pain medicine (by prescription). Limiting strenuous activity may reduce the risk of cyst rupture or torsion.

Medical Treatment

Ultrasonic observation or endovaginal ultrasound are used repeatedly and frequently to monitor the growth of the cyst.
