CHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 8 MAY 2026 OVARIAN CYSTS How a military mission a year back became a national emotion Mona A Elle teaser out Ahead of Amazon’s May 11 upfront presentation in New York, Prime Video released the official teaser-trailer for Elle, the highly anticipated Legally Blonde prequel. Lexi Minetree plays Elle Woods. YEAR after India launched Operation Sindoor in the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, the mission continues to hold a strong emotional and cultural presence across the country. What started as a decisive counter-terror operation quickly transformed into a larger symbol of national unity, sacrifice and resilience. Beyond strategic and political discussions, Operation Sindoor sparked an outpouring of sentiment on social media, inspired patriotic campaigns, drew support from public figures, and even ignited interest within the film industry. The operation’s codename struck a particularly emotional chord. Deeply embedded in Indian cultural identity, “Sindoor” came to symbolise the pain and loss endured by families affected by the attack, especially the women whose lives were altered forever. Over the past year, online conversations repeatedly described the operation as “powerful,” “symbolic” and “unforgettable,” reflecting how deeply it resonated with the public imagination. Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who announced a film around the operation, posted on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, along with a video issued by Indian Army, on X, “A year since India showed the world that peace is One year of Operation to be feared or not?

Distressed, she wants surgical removal of the cyst fearing it might be cancer. But the reassuring fact is that majority of ovarian cysts are benign and do not require surgical removal! In reproductive-age women, most cysts are functional, arising during the normal menstrual cycle (discovered incidentally during routine ultrasounds) and tend to resolve spontaneously. Certain types, such as dermoid cysts or endometriomas, may persist but still are usually non-cancerous. The likelihood of malignancy increases with age, particularly after menopause, and persistent cysts require close follow-up under medical supervision. Red flags include ultrasound features of solid components, irregular borders, septations, rapid growth and blood tests for tumour markers (CA 125 etc). Early and accurate diagnosis through clinical assessment and imaging is the key. So, stay aware, do not panic and seek medical advice to distinguish physiological from pathological cysts!
