Kaltum, an 19-year-old female, was referred to our facility with Complex Ovarian cyst which was also confirmed in UMD.After thorough evaluation and investigation, she underwent ovarian cystectomy. The surgery was successful without immediate complications. Due to the nature of her sickness, she was admitted for 5 days for close monitoring and treatment.She recovered well and was discharged home after 5 days, with follow-up care scheduled for 1 week. Currently, Kaltum is doing well, has recovered, and has resumed regular activities. We sincerely appreciate Helpster charity foundation for the free medical services.

Kaltum needs an urgent surgery due to the symptoms and to avoid complications. Complex ovarian cysts can potentially grow larger, causing increased pain, discomfort, and pressure on surrounding organs. There is also a risk of rupture, which can lead to severe pain, internal bleeding, and infection. In some cases, complex cysts may be cancerous, and delayed treatment could allow the cancer to advance to a more advanced stage, reducing the chances of successful treatment. Surgery may involve removal of the cyst (cystectomy) or, in more severe cases, removal of the entire ovary (oophorectomy) Surgery is the only option and Kaltum will significantly benefit from the procedure.
