Symptoms of ovarian cyst in women

This pathology, like the ovarian cyst in women, is not uncommon, but not all of them know the symptoms of this disease. That is why, the pathology is found out rather late or already in the case when the complication develops.

What is called an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cyst refers to retention formations, which are the result of a cluster of secretions in the cavity. This increases the volume of the ovary and its size. In severe cases, the size of the cyst can reach 15-18 cm.

The cyst itself does not refer to true neoplasms, but develops as a result of disruption of the normal development of the yellow body, or the follicle. Sometimes the pathology develops against the backdrop of the inflammatory process in the appendages.

If we consider the structure of the cyst, then most often these are single-chambered formations, but there are also multi-chamber formations.

How to determine the presence of a cyst in the ovary?

To timely determine the pathology, each woman should have an idea of ​​what symptoms are observed in the ovarian cyst.

In most cases, the disease occurs without any special signs and complaints from the woman. This fact makes it difficult to diagnose this type of pathology early. However, when the formation increases to a large size and starts to interfere with the normal operation of neighboring organs, women begin to complain about their health. Most often it is:

• severity and pain localized in the lower abdomen;
• presence of small bloody secretions, of smearing character;
• violation of the menstrual cycle;
• nausea;
• dizziness;
• presence of frequent urge to urinate (because the cyst is pressing on the bladder);

What causes untimely treatment of the ovarian cyst?

The most common in the incidence of complications of ovarian cysts are the tearing and torsion of the legs, the symptoms of which are similar. If we compare the frequency of occurrence, then according to statistics, the cup is torsion of the cysts. The following picture is observed:

• elevated body temperature, which is not knocked down by the fever antipyretic;
• sharp, strong, cutting pain in the lower abdomen;
• nausea;
• vomiting;
• blanching of the skin;
• lowering of blood pressure.

When the cyst ruptures, the symptoms of peritonitis , inflammation of the peritoneum, also join the above symptoms.

In the case of a prolonged absence of necessary treatment, inflammation of the ovarian cyst may occur, the symptoms of which are very similar to the complications described above.

Can a cyst disappear without treatment?

Many women, fearing surgery to remove cysts, think about whether the ovarian cyst resolves, how it occurs and what are the symptoms of this process.

In some cases, spontaneous disappearance of the cyst ( endometrial ) is possible. In this case, women do not note any signs of passing this process, and learn about the result only after another ultrasound.
