This paper reviews the evaluation and fertility-sparing management of ovarian cysts in women of reproductive age, including how preoperative history, physical exam, imaging, and laboratory tests help distinguish benign cysts (e.g., endometriomas, mature cystic teratomas) from masses that may warrant referral for malignancy assessment. It describes fertility-sparing ovarian cystectomy, typically laparoscopic, as an option for women with benign cysts who desire future fertility, emphasizing that counseling should address potential effects on ovarian reserve. A key limitation is that, as a chapter-level narrative overview, it does not provide new prospective outcome data and relies on previously published evidence and guideline recommendations. Relevance to endometriosis: endometriomas are listed among the common ovarian cyst diagnoses discussed, and the text references evidence about endometrioma excision and ovarian reserve, though the paper’s main focus is the broad evaluation and fertility-sparing management of benign ovarian cysts.
