Aisha A., 20

Aisha is a 20-year-old who enjoys drawing, reading, exploring nature, and playing with friends. She dreams of helping others and discovering new things, imagining a future as a doctor, artist, or explorer. She began experiencing lower abdominal and pelvic pain two months ago, which worsened during her menstrual periods. This was associated with bloating, irregular and heavy menstrual cycles, and painful distress with daily activities. Examination revealed a firm mass in the left adnexal region that is tender, which was supported by imaging. She was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst measuring about 44x55mm. She is currently awaiting surgical treatment, either cystectomy or oophorectomy, pending charity approval to alleviate her pains and prevent the risk of torsion or rupture.

Aisha, a 20-year-old young woman, was admitted on 18/01/2026 with an ovarian cyst and underwent a successful cystectomy (surgical removal of the ovarian cyst). She received intravenous antibiotics, pain medications, intravenous fluids, and comprehensive postoperative care with close medical monitoring. After nine days in the hospital, Aisha recovered well. Her abdominal pain resolved, and she was discharged home in stable condition with medications and follow-up instructions. She is expected to make a full recovery and gradually resume her normal daily activities. Thanks to Helpter Charity for sponsoring the treatment of Aisha.

In a 20-year-old girl, most large complex cysts are benign, often dermoids or endometriomas but their size increases the immediate risk of ovarian torsion, a surgical emergency that can compromise the ovary. Consequently, doctors typically recommend surgical removal (cystectomy). The doctor’s prognosis is that surgical removal of the ovarian cyst (cystectomy or oophorectomy) should relieve pain and prevent complications. If left untreated, the ovarian cyst could grow, cause severe pain, affect fertility, or lead to serious complications like ovarian torsion or rupture.
