Ovary rupture - causes

A sudden abnormality in the integrity of the ovarian tissue and subsequent bleeding is called an ovarian rupture or apoplexy . Hemorrhage can reach the abdominal cavity. Age in which cases of apoplexy are probable, from 14 to 45 years, while the period from 20 to 35 years is the most dangerous. The recurrence of the ovarian rupture that occurs one time occurs in almost 70% of cases.

Apoplexy often occurs in the second half of the menstrual cycle due to the fact that during the period of ovulation and the onset of menstruation, the vessels are more susceptible to permeability and blood filling. The artery of the right ovary departs from the aorta. This is an additional risk of a sudden rupture.

Causes of Ovarian Rupture

1. The rupture can occur due to the growth of blood vessels in the yellow body of the ovary during the ovulation period.
2. Danger of inflammation in the abdominal cavity, uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes, the presence of cysts.
3. Vessel changes in the pelvic area (fibrosis, varicose veins, etc.). With these disorders, there is no possibility of normal blood circulation.
4. Adhesive disease.
5. Traumatization of the abdominal cavity, including due to a very violent sexual intercourse.
6. Immensely difficult physical activity, lifting weights.
7. Hormonal failures.
