Ovarian cyst is one of the most common diseases of the female genital area. And so almost every third woman, being in the office of a gynecologist, asks how to get rid of the ovarian cyst?
How to treat an ovarian cyst?
The method of treatment of ovarian cysts is selected by a gynecologist, taking into account their size, type, and also the characteristics of a woman's health. So, for example, the causes of the appearance of functional cysts is not a burst follicle or yellow body. With newly appeared small cysts (1 cm) the gynecologist tries to wait time. This tactic is associated with the possibility of self-absorption of the cyst. To reduce the size of large formations gynecologist can resort to hormonal drugs. Usually hormonal contraceptives are prescribed. Often, with an ovarian cyst, women are prescribed an analog of the hormone progesterone - djufaston. The fact is that the increase in progesterone in the blood contributes to the collapse of the cyst walls, inhibits the production of the luteinizing hormone in the pituitary gland, "guilty" of their formation.
Endometrioid cysts are formations with dense capsules with chocolate-colored contents. Since the cause of their appearance is a hormonal failure, for treatment, also prescribed hormonal drugs from the cysts, which introduces the woman's body into an artificial menopause or containing male sex hormones.
However, it happens that the cyst does not pass and even continues to grow. Do I need to delete the cyst in this case? Surgical intervention is necessary and that's why:
- in some cysts the leg may be twisted, and as a result it will be necessary to remove the entire ovary;
- the enlarging cyst can burst, and its contents will fall into the abdominal cavity, which is fraught with peritonitis;
- unsuccessful cysts lead to adherent processes of sexual and neighboring organs, possibly infertility;
- sometimes cysts can provoke the development of ovarian cancer.
- The most sparing and effective type of surgical intervention is cyst laparoscopy. Under general anesthesia, the patient in the right area of the abdomen is punctured, special tools are introduced, with which the cyst is cut off. The puncture site quickly heals, and the woman retains her reproductive function.
Treatment of ovarian cysts during pregnancy
If a woman becomes pregnant, already having a small cyst, the control over the behavior of this formation is established. With her growth, the doctor will prescribe laparoscopy in the second trimester. This is due to the fact that if the cyst ruptures or the legs are twisted, a more complicated operation is required, which is dangerous for the pregnancy itself. The arising cyst during pregnancy, as a rule, does not require treatment, since it will resolve itself.
