The main sign of the endometrioid cyst of the left ovary, like most cysts in general, is the appearance in the tissue of the endometrial wall of the bladder, which is filled with blood fluid. With a certain period of time, his rejection occurs, which leads to bleeding. Blood that does not get out, accumulates in the cavity of the cyst itself and partially falls into the cavity of the small pelvis of the woman, which leads to the formation of adhesions.
Causes of an endometrioid cyst in the left ovary
The causes that lead to the ovarian endometriosis cyst are not fully established. According to one of the theories, during menstruation, some of the endometrial cells migrate along with blood. Later, these cells settle on the surface of tubes, ovaries or enter the abdominal cavity, where they form foci of the disease. The second possible cause may be a surgical procedure in which the uterine mucosa has been affected.
Endometrioid ovarian cyst in most cases is very small (only 2-3 cm). That is why it is often first discovered by chance, with ultrasound of the ovaries .
The main symptomatic signs of the endometrial cyst of the left ovary are:
- pains in the lower abdomen, often loosing in the lower back, intensifying during the menstrual cycle;
- fairly abundant period;
- the appearance of small, smearing excretions before menstruation.
Treatment of the endometrial cyst of the left ovary
The only way to treat a major endometrioma of the left ovary is surgery. Such an operation as laparoscopy of the endometrioid ovarian cyst is not complicated.
There have been cases when the endometrioid ovarian cyst, having a small size, has resolved spontaneously. Therefore, experienced doctors, before radical treatment, observe the patient during 2-3 menstrual cycles. If no change has occurred, then an operation intervention is prescribed.
