What is Ovarian Cyst?

  • An ovarian cyst is any collection of fluid, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary.
  • Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst.
  • The size of Ovarian cyst may differ small to big.
  • Most ovarian cysts are functional in nature, and harmless.Some ovarian cysts cause problems, such as bleeding and pain.
  • Ovarian cysts larger than 5 cm diameter are advised to remove surgically by Gynaecologists.

Types of cysts:

  • Ovarian cysts can be categorized as non-cancerous or cancerous growths.
  • All of the following conditions are noncancerous, A woman may develop one or more of them.

1.Follicular cyst: One type of simple cyst, which is the most common type of ovarian cyst,This type can form when ovulation doesn't occur, and a follicle doesn't rupture or release its egg but instead grows until it becomes a cyst, or when a mature follicle involute (collapses on itself).

2.Corpus lutetium cyst: One type of simple cyst, which is the most common type of ovarian cyst.This type of functional cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. The follicle then becomes a secretory gland that is known as the corpus luteum.

3.Hemorrhagic cyst: which is also called a blood cyst, hematocele, and hematocyst

4.Dermoid cyst: This is an abnormal cyst that usually affects younger women and may grow to 6 inches in diameter. It is a type of benign tumor sometimes referred to as mature cystic teratoma.

5.Endometrioid cyst or Chocolate cyst,Endometrial cyst, or chocolate cyst is caused by endometriosis, and formed when a tiny patch of endometrial tissue (the mucous membrane that makes up the inner layer of the uterus)

6.Poly cystic-appearing ovary:Poly cystic-appearing ovary is diagnosed based on its enlarged size - usually twice that of normal - with small cysts present around the outside of the ovary. This condition can be found in "normal" women, and in women with endocrine disorder.

CAUSES:

The following are possible risk factors for developing ovarian cysts:

  • History of previous ovarian cysts Menstrual irregulations.
  • Fatty upper body

TREATMENT:

  • Treatment for cysts depends on the size of the cyst and symptoms.
  • For small, asymptomatic cysts, the wait and see approach with regular check-ups can be advised.
  • Pain caused by ovarian cysts may be treated with-pain relievers, including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ,or narcotic pain medicine.
