The yellow body cyst is a benign neoplasm developing in the second half of the menstrual cycle. It is formed from the follicle that burst as a result of ovulation, the cause can be a variety of processes occurring in the body, including a violation of the processes of resorption in the "yellow body."
Left ovary with yellow body
As a rule, such cysts are found on ultrasound. Symptoms that a woman could feel, they do not manifest. This record in the results of ultrasound means that in this cycle the woman in the left ovary had ovulation. It has already been completed, but for some reason the follicle that left the egg did not dissolve, but formed into a cyst.
Yellow body cyst - reasons
The scientists can not establish the causes of the cyst. Some associate the formation of a cyst with pregnancy, but this is not entirely true. In pregnancy, the yellow body does not die out, its function - to produce progesterone, which is responsible for the correct development of pregnancy, its specialists can mistakenly accept the cyst. A true cyst can also occur without pregnancy, it resolves, as a rule, for several months.
The reason that the cyst of the yellow body is most often detected during pregnancy is simple: pregnant women often do pelvic ultrasound in the second half of the cycle. They can not wait to confirm the fact of conception, and therefore the recording of the "yellow body cyst on the left" often appears in the ultrasound of a woman who is in the early stages of pregnancy.
Out-of-pregnancy cyst is diagnosed less often, however, it arises, in fact, just as often. In general, this is a normal phenomenon that does not require treatment, but if the cyst seems to the doctor suspicious, it can assign observation in dynamics.
