'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.

Cardiologist explains the right way to measure blood pressure at home (and prevent misdiagnosis and wrong medication)
Getting your blood pressure checked might seem like a small task, but done incorrectly, it can throw off your numbers by 10% or more. That may not sound like much—but it's enough to disguise high blood pressure, trigger unnecessary medications, or mislead your doctor into changing your dose. Cardiologist Dmitry Yaranov, MD, summed it up perfectly in an Instagram post: 'You're not checking your blood pressure — you're just watching numbers change.' So before you panic over 'high' readings or relax over normal ones, here's how to do it right, following guidelines used by doctors around the world. Sit properly: back supported, feet flat Your posture makes a difference. Sit in a chair with your back supported and your feet planted flat on the floor—not crossed. Rest your arm on a table so that your elbow is roughly at heart level. If your legs are crossed or you're slouched, your reading could be higher than it really is. Rest quietly for 5 minutes Don't take a reading immediately after exercise, a heated argument, or even a strong coffee. Give your body a full five minutes to settle. Otherwise, you're measuring your stress, not your baseline pressure. Support your arm at heart level Your arm should be resting comfortably, supported on a table or armrest, at the same height as your heart. If your arm is dangling or held too high, the numbers can be inaccurate. No talking, no texting during the reading Stay silent and still. Even casual conversation or scrolling on your phone can cause slight elevations in blood pressure. Focus on relaxing and breathing evenly. Use the correct cuff size The cuff should fit snugly, with the inflatable part covering at least 80% of your upper arm. Using a cuff that's too small or too large can give false readings. Also, place the cuff on bare skin—not over clothing. Take 2–3 readings, spaced 1 minute apart One reading is rarely enough. Wait a minute between measurements and take at least two. If they differ by more than 5 points, take a third and average them. This gives a more accurate picture than a single number. Keep a record Write down your readings or save them on your device. Blood pressure fluctuates naturally throughout the day, so tracking helps identify patterns over time—something your doctor will appreciate. Bring your cuff to your next checkup Home blood pressure monitors can vary. Bring yours to your doctor's office so they can compare it to a clinical-grade device and ensure you're getting trustworthy readings at home.

Jessie J hospitalised weeks after breast cancer surgery
Jessie J hospitalised weeks after breast cancer surgery Singer-songwriter Jessie J shared health updates recently after recovering from a health batlle. Just six weeks after sharing that she underwent surgery to treat her "early breast cancer," the singer shared that she was back in the hospital, reported E! News. "How I spent the last 24 hours," Jessie wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of an IV in her arm. "6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned." "I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung," she continued. "IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD." She shared that doctotrs have identified some infection. "They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection still trying to figure out what and a little fluid on my lungs," she said, adding, "Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night I hate being in hospital and will continue the investigation as an outpatient," reported E! News. The 37-year-old's hospitalization came two months after she shared her initial breast cancer diagnosis on social media. And since then, she has been candid about how difficult the journey has been. "The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it's been the most challenging time for me," she wrote in a separate post to her Instagram Stories. "Especially as a Mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am." "Having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all," she continued. "But it's life, I know that. And don't get me wrong, getting the all clear is incredible. But that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically." "I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is," she added. "I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner circle." Jessie updated her fans about her cancer diagnosis."I was diagnosed with early breast cancer," she said in a June 3 Instagram video. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early.'"Jessie also added humor into her health update, as she continued, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music," reported E! News. "I do not talk about it enough," she shared. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book."Adding that she wants to stand alongside others who are battling cancer, she said, "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse--that's the bit that kills me," reported E! News.
