Ovarian cyst is a common gynecological disease, which is also a serious disease for women. We must pay attention to it after illness, and we must timely carry out reasonable inspection and treatment.
Is Ovarian cyst serious
1. Functional cysts: This type of cyst is the most common among women of reproductive age. Women of reproductive age who experience ovulation cycles include follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, luteal cysts, polycystic ovaries, and excessive physiological reactions such as hormonal dysfunction, insufficient secretion of luteinizing hormone, and drug stimulation. Observation is the best method for this type of cyst. Usually, after a few days to about two weeks, most of them will disappear automatically. Therefore, the doctor will tell you to take an ultrasound once your period is over. If there is no reduction at all, it is considered a non functional cyst. If the symptoms do not shrink or disappear after one or two months of observation, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the endocrine system until the symptoms disappear. In a few cases, such as severe symptoms such as 3 months of pregnancy, low back pain, and uterine distortion, excision surgery is required.
2. Hemorrhagic cysts: Filter cysts and corpus luteum cysts grow too fast, ovarian tissue is involved, ruptures, and bleeds. These blood accumulates in the ovaries due to not being exported, which is called a hemorrhagic cyst. This cyst usually disappears on its own, but it takes a long time. If you are not feeling well, you can take medication to relieve symptoms. In a few cases, patients may need to undergo resection surgery when they experience severe symptoms.
3. Serous epithelial cyst and mucinous epithelial cyst: After 3 months of observation, the cysts that still exist are not functional cysts, but epithelial Ovarian cyst. This is because the serous cells and mucus cells with secretory function are embedded in the ovary after ovulation, continuously secreting fluid to form cysts.
4. Ovarian cancer: The probability of developing ovarian cancer is relatively low, but it is not easy to detect early because it is located in the pelvic cavity. This type of cyst will not disappear and requires surgery to remove it.
5. Chocolate cyst (Endometrioma): refers to Endometriosis that grows in the ovary and forms a large amount of viscous brown chocolate like liquid in the ovary. Because Endometrioma will grow with time, gradually erode normal tissue, causing irreversible damage to ovarian tissue. The effectiveness of drug treatment is poor and it is difficult to eliminate cysts. Smaller chocolate cysts can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine as early as possible to reduce fibroids and prevent recurrence. The wall of a chocolate cyst is often fragile and prone to spontaneous rupture. After rupture, the thick chocolate capsule fluid can flow into the abdominal cavity. This chocolate like liquid is extremely irritating and can stimulate the surrounding peritoneum, causing severe abdominal pain. It should be sought medical attention in a timely manner. After evaluating its severity, surgical treatment may be necessary.
