Abstract
Ovarian cysts in NaProTECHNOLOGY are classified as functional (follicular cysts, luteinized unruptured follicle, corpus luteum cysts) or pathological (endometriomas, neoplasms) through serial cycle-timed transvaginal ultrasound correlated with CrMS Peak day observations and post-Peak progesterone and estradiol profiles. Management of functional cysts uses cooperative progesterone replacement and targeted HCG injections to normalize corpus luteum function and reduce cyst recurrence without contraceptive suppression, while pathological or persistent cysts are addressed through fertility-sparing laparoscopic surgery with anti-adhesion technique.
