Ovarian Cysts Diagnosis in Bangalore

What is OVARIAN CYST ?
Ovaries are a woman's reproductive organs that make female hormones and release an egg from a follicle (a small fluid-filled sac) each month. The follicle is usually about 2-3 cm when measured across (diameter) but sometimes can be larger.

An ovarian cyst is a larger fluid-filled sac (more than 3 cm in diameter) that develops on or in an ovary. A 2 cyst can vary in size from a few centimetres to the size of a large melon. Ovarian cysts may be thin-walled and only contain fluid (known as a simple cyst) or they may be more complex, containing thick fluid, blood or solid areas.




There are many different types of ovarian cyst that occur before the menopause, examples of which include:


 A simple cyst, which is usually a large follicle that has continued to grow after an egg has been released; simple cysts are the most common cysts to occur before the menopause and most disappear within a few months

 An endometrioma - endometriosis, where cells of the lining of the womb are found outside the womb, sometimes causes ovarian cysts and these are called endometriomas

 A dermoid cyst, which develops from the cells that make eggs in the ovary, often contains substances such as hair and fat.

Other types of cyst on the ovary are less common.Other types of cyst on the ovary are less common.

INCIDENCE OF OVARIAN CYST
Ovarian cysts are common. Most women will be unaware that they have a cyst as they often cause no symptoms and disappear spontaneously with time. However, up to 1 in 10 women may need surgery for an ovarian cyst at some point in their lives.

SYMPTOMS OF PRESENTATION
Most cysts are diagnosed by chance, for example during a routine examination, or if you have an ultrasound scan for another reason. Therefore you may have no symptoms at all.

However, you may experience one or more of the following:

 lower abdominal pain or pelvic pain

 painful periods, or a change in the pattern of your periods

 pain during sex

 pain related to your bowels

 a feeling that you want to pass urine urgently and more frequently

 a change in appetite or feeling full quickly

 a distended (swollen) abdomen

 difficulty in becoming pregnant which may be linked to endometriosis.
