Ovarian Cyst Aspiration
Ovarian Cyst
At Almond Blossoms Fertility & Wellbeing Centre in Dubai, we specialize in gentle, advanced procedures that protect reproductive health and support fertility.
Ovarian Cyst Aspiration is a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique used to remove fluid-filled cysts from the ovaries.
It is often performed to relieve discomfort, preserve ovarian tissue, and support fertility care before IVF or other fertility treatments.
Our cared fertility specialists ensure the procedure is safe, precise, and comfortable, using the latest imaging and laboratory guidance to support safe and effective care with minimal downtime.
What Is Ovarian Cyst Aspiration?
Ovarian Cyst Aspiration involves draining the cyst’s contents using a fine needle guided by transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound.
The procedure takes 10–20 minutes, typically under light sedation or local anesthesia, and is performed on an outpatient basis.
By removing the fluid, the cyst collapses, relieving pressure and allowing the ovary to return to normal function.
Why It’s Done
Your doctor may recommend cyst aspiration when:
cyst is large, persistent, or painful.
There is discomfort during ovulation or intercourse.
A cyst is detected before starting IVF or ovulation induction.
Diagnostic confirmation is required to rule out infection or malignancy (sample sent for lab testing).
You prefer a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.

The Procedure at Almond Blossoms
Consultation & Imaging
Pelvic ultrasound and hormonal assessment to confirm cyst type and size.
Preparation
Light sedation ensures comfort; ultrasound imaging guides precision.
Aspiration
A thin needle is inserted through the vaginal wall into the cyst under real-time ultrasound guidance. The cyst fluid is gently withdrawn and sent for cytological or microbiological evaluation if needed.
Post-Procedure Care
Patients rest briefly at the centre, then return home the same day with minimal discomfort.
Recovery & Follow-Up
- Mild pelvic cramping or spotting for 24–48 hours is normal.
- Avoid strenuous activity for one day.
- Follow-up ultrasound in 2–4 weeks to ensure the cyst has resolved.
- In IVF patients, aspiration may be scheduled before stimulation or egg retrieval to optimize ovarian access.
At Almond Blossoms, our goal is to protect every woman’s ovarian health with the least invasive methods possible support fertility readiness.
