Every woman fears having to go under the knife for ovarian cyst removal. But it is a measure that is unavoidable when there are serious complications from a cyst in the ovary - but this is a step that is taken as a last alternative. Often, such situations arise because the condition is neglected and left untreated. And practitioners of conventional medicine prescribe removal as the final solution when everything else has failed. However, skeptics nowadays contest that in most cases no surgery is needed and that, quite a few types of cysts may be managed, if only the right treatment option is opted for. Also, they feel that if the patient takes appropriate measures right at the beginning, the final step of surgery will never be needed. Therefore, if you are suffering from this condition, you should do everything to be aware of the problem and know how severe it is before going in for the option for removing the cyst.

Ovarian cysts - what are they?

Ovarian cysts come about basically because of a failed or disordered ovulation. It is however important to know the causes for their formation. When the follicle cannot release an egg and keeps on growing - this is when the cyst gets formed. The cyst also gets formed when the place where the egg gets released is blocked even after it is released by the follicle. Because of this the corpus luteum cannot be formed and a cyst to appear. It has also been found in studies carried out recently that more xenoestorgens can be a primary cause in the formation of ovarian cysts.

There are two types of cysts which form - there is the functional cyst and there is the abnormal ovarian cyst. The various types of abnormal ovarian cysts such as dermoid cyst, endometrioma cyst, adenoma cyst and \”polycystic ovarian disease\” all occur because of the imbalance of \”female hormones\” i.e. progesterone and estrogen. Most of these abnormal cysts are really benign and not cancerous but nobody has, till now, been able to identify the reason for these abnormalities. In most instances, these cysts do not cause any problem but stay within the body for a lifetime. However, in rare cases, they do burst and consequently require immediate surgery. Let us now study the various types of ovarian cysts in detail.

It is the type of symptoms that have been identified and the degree of pain that is suffered by the patient that will determine the treatment of ovarian cysts. The type of cyst is also a major factor determining how it will be managed. The treatment of ovarian cysts is typically determined by the status of the patient relative to menopause or post-menopause.

Although ovarian cysts after the menopause are a less frequent occurrence, instances do occur and may cause complications. Women after the menopause are recommended to take a CA125 test with a sonography using transvaginal grayscale. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and Doppler scans are less effective for the detection of cysts after menopause. Transvaginal ultrasound is the best solution to evaluate the situation of ovarian cysts because it makes for more detail and increased sensitivity. Larger cysts however should be assessed transabdominally. Women after the menopause with an ovarian cyst that is not adapted to conservative management may require an oophorectomy. This operation is performed to remove the ovary within a bag so as to prevent the cyst from breaking open in the peritoneal cavity.

Using the phrase \”ovarian cyst\” might seem excessive. However it is true that cysts are frequent in women particularly while menstruating. A woman on her menstrual cycle will frequently develop such cysts that are filled for either with eggs or fluids in the area of the ovaries. As part of the menstrual cycle the cysts will rupture and release eggs into the fallopian tubes. Different factors may be included in the formation of ovarian cysts and the different kinds that exist.

In general a functional cyst is not deadly and vanishes of its own accord. However, if the cyst enlarges too much, then it can twist, bleed or break leading to intense pain. Functional ovarian cysts are essentially minuscule sacs that develop on the ovary while ovulation is in progress. The cyst has the responsibility of holding the maturing egg, and in most instances after the egg has been released, a sac is reabsorbed. If the hole in the sac shuts after the egg is freed or the egg is not released, fluid retention can make it swell up. Home treatment of ovarian cysts is still an unsettled discussion amongst in medical experts.

An ovarian cyst is a small enclosed space within the ovary containing fluids within a thin boundary. A follicle that is over 2cm bigger than the usual size is classified as an ovarian cyst. Most ovarian cysts are benign or simply functional. However, if they are the hemorrhagic type they can become ovarian cysts that are very painful. Other names for a hemorrhagic cyst are blood cyst; haematocyst; and haemotocele. Such a cyst occurs when a blood vessel in the system breaks and blood enters into the system. Experiencing pain to the right of the abdomen is a classic sign of a hemorrhagic cyst. Bleeding can be rapid and extensive and cover the whole ovary in a short time to produce considerable pain. The blood in the ovary can then start to form clots that can be seen typically on a sonogram. Sometimes, a hemorrhagic cyst bursts and releases blood to flood the abdominal cavity.
