Sai Shah, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Sai Shah, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been trying to conceive for over a year. Her periods were always irregular and painful, but she'd dismissed it as normal. When sharp, intermittent pelvic pain began disrupting her work and daily life, she sought help. An ultrasound revealed a large, 7cm complex ovarian cyst. Her OB-GYN, Dr. Mehta, explained that while many cysts resolve, this one's size and characteristics warranted removal via laparoscopic cystectomy to preserve fertility and rule out any concerning pathology. Sai was terrified surgery would harm her ovarian reserve. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. Recovery involved a few days of rest and mild discomfort. Pathology confirmed a benign endometrioma. Emotionally, Sai moved from fear and frustration about her fertility to immense relief and hope. Six months post-op, her cycles regulated, and she felt empowered to continue her conception journey with less pain and anxiety.
