Ovarian cyst is a benign formation, which is a cavity containing a liquid. This disease is in our time one of the most common in the field of gynecology.
There are several types of cysts of different origin: follicular, yellow body, hemorrhagic, endometrioid, serous, dermoid, mucinous and others.
Cyst in the ovary is formed, as a rule, in womenof childbearing age, and less often after 50 years. The main signs of the disease are pain in the lower abdomen and in the waist, malfunctions of the menstrual cycle. With a large cyst size, an abdominal enlargement is observed. In half the cases, the disease is asymptomatic.
Than to treat an ovarian cyst?
There are three types of treatment, depending on the type of ailment and the complications that have arisen.
- Observation and expectant position with small cyst size, and if it does not increase by ultrasound results.
- Conservative treatment aimed at preventing growth or reducing the size of the problem area. In this case, hormones are prescribed.
- Surgical removal of the cyst. For this, the laparoscopy method is used, in which tissues of reproductive organs are maximally preserved.
The most common type is follicular orfunctional cyst - is formed in the middle of the menstrual cycle from a dominant follicle that has not fallen for unknown reasons, in which an egg is ripening. The problem is formed as a result of the growth of the unexploded follicle as the liquid accumulates therein. The cyst is formed on one ovary and does not give itself away. It is usually found during a gynecological examination. It, in most cases, does not require special treatment and after a couple of cycles it disappears by itself. However, the doctor's observation is still necessary. The follicular cyst is removed surgically if it does not disappear after three menstrual cycles.
Other types of cysts, such as serous, dermoid, endometrioid and others, are abnormal. Such ailments are treated only surgically.
Cysts can have complications: rupture and bleeding, torsion of the legs, suppuration.
If earlier a cut was made for their removal in the lower abdomen, today new methods are used - the operation is carried out through the vagina and small punctures in the abdomen, in which tissues are minimally traumatized.
