'Ovarian cysts are more common than you might think. However, in most cases, they are harmless. These cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on the surface of or inside the ovaries and are detected in women who are of reproductive age,' explains Dr Swatee Dilip Gaggare, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Manipal Hospital, Pune.
Many women may not even know they have a cyst, as they often come and go without causing any issues. Some of the common symptoms can include bloating and menstrual irregularities, along with a sudden, sharp pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Recently, even singer Miley Cyrus opened up about her experience with ovarian cysts that ruptured during she she was hosting Miley's New Year's Eve Party on NBC in 2023. During a recent appearance on The Zane Lowe Interview Series, she said, 'I had a pretty traumatic experience when I was doing my New Year's show. I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture.' The Grammy winner continued with the live programme, performing alongside godmother, singer Dolly Parton and other musicans like Sia and Paris Hilton.
Dr Vaishali Joshi, Senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Kokilaben Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, shares, 'Usually, young women in the peak of their reproductive career, between 20 to 30 years of age, have a higher chance of developing ovarian cysts as the ovulation cycle happens consistently every month. However, women after they turn 50 years and after menopause, are more prone to developing cancerous cysts.'
There are a few reasons an ovarian cyst can form:
Dr Usha Bohra, Senior Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, says, 'The treatment depends on three factors — size, type, and symptoms. One can undertake lifestyle modifications or medication. Surgery is done only if necessary.' Some of the lifestyle changes include adopting a balanced and nutritious diet, restricting junk food and dairy products, maintaining a healthy weight and regular physical activity.

Nikita Bardia, a health and fitness coach, regularly shares valuable diet and lifestyle tips on her Instagram, helping followers accelerate their weight loss journey with effective hacks. She emphasises how certain lifestyle patterns can trigger health issues like PCOS, leading to fat storage and delayed weight loss. On June 14, Nikita posted an Instagram reel revealing harsh truths and practical advice on diet, fitness, PCOS, and sustainable fat loss. Also read | Health coach shares 3 missing pieces of weight loss in 40s: It's not just about 'eating more protein and walking' Hacks and tips on diet and fitness that can drop the body fat faster. (Shutterstock) 'Brutal truths no one wants to hear, but I wish someone told me earlier,' she wrote. Here's what she shared: 1. You're not bloated. You're overstimulated and under-rested. Bloating is often your nervous system crying for stillness, not diet charts. 2. You don't need a cheat meal. You need emotional regulation. That treat yourself mindset is keeping your body inflamed and confused. 3. Late-night scrolling is the reason your belly fat isn't budging. Cortisol at midnight can lead to insulin chaos in the morning. This further makes your body go into the fat storage mode. 4. Your PCOS isn't just hormonal. It's a lifestyle crisis. Irregular meals, coffee on empty stomach, and poor sleep are driving it. 5. Flax seeds and chia won't fix your hormones if your meals are chaos. Instagram superfoods mean nothing if your plate lacks routine and logic. 6. Eating clean all week and binging on weekends is not balance. That's stress-dieting and your body remembers everything.

Once you heal your relationship with yourself, movement feels freeing, not punishing. 8. If you need caffeine to survive your day, your system is screaming burnout. That's not productivity. That's dysfunction disguised as hustle. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Breastfeeding in a digital age
Becoming a mother often comes with a side of chaos, not just diapers, midnight feeds, or lullabies, but something far less spoken, the sheer overload of advice. From well-meaning relatives to parenting influencers on Instagram, new mothers are constantly surrounded by voices telling them what to do, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. Instead of feeling relieved that they have people to guide them, often mothers are confused, and in most cases, overwhelmed because today's mothers are raising their babies in the era of Instagram, WhatsApp, and parenting influencers. In a world of overflowing information, what's truly missing is genuine support. When advice turns into noise For most mothers, the advice starts pouring even before the baby arrives. 'You must exclusively breastfeed.' 'Don't give water till six months.' 'Use this position.' 'Avoid that food.' There is a barrage of dos and don'ts. At present, there are also strangers online who have different versions of 'getting it right'. The outcome is mothers begin to doubt themselves. Digital noise forces their instincts into the background. Instead of feeling like they are supported, they often feel judged. Thus, the mothers' instincts are drowned by digital noise, rather than feeling confident and supported, they feel judged. It is important for mothers to have a break, to reassure that they are doing well, and it's a step-wise process, after all. Unlearning myths is important since sometimes mothers tend to have already internalised these and accepted these as truths. Some of them are: The baby is crying because the mother must not have enough milk. If you give a bottle once, breastfeeding is ruined forever. Breastfeeding should come naturally. If it's hard, you're doing it wrong. You need to eat only bland food while nursing. These myths come from different sources, the problem is not only that they are wrong, but they are delivered so confidently that mothers begin to believe that there is something wrong with their breastfeeding methods. They also feel ashamed for something that may not even be in their control. Worse, they may delay asking for help when it's most needed.
