This trial is studying a way to treat painful, fluid-filled cysts in the pelvis using a thin needle guided by ultrasound imaging. Instead of having surgery to remove the cyst, doctors perform the procedure during an office visit by inserting a needle through the vagina to drain the fluid. The goal is to relieve your pain while avoiding the longer recovery time and potential side effects of surgical removal.
Many women develop fluid-filled cysts in their pelvis that can cause pain and discomfort. While surgery can remove these cysts, it requires hospitalization, a longer recovery, and can sometimes affect fertility or cause scarring inside the pelvis. This trial exists to see if a simpler needle-drainage procedure can safely relieve symptoms for women who want to avoid surgery.

If you qualify, you will come to the hospital for an ultrasound-guided drainage procedure performed through the vagina. The doctor will use ultrasound imaging to locate your cyst and guide a thin needle to drain the fluid, which typically takes place during a single office or clinic visit. You may have follow-up imaging or visits to monitor whether the cyst returns and whether your pain has improved.
