Cyst Ovarian - What You Should Know
About It. 

What is an Ovarian Cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a collection of fluid in a sac
that form in or on an ovary. There are types of ovarian
cysts and here they are:
Functional Cysts
Endometriomas or Endometriotic Cysts
Cystadenomas
Dermoid Polycystic
Functional Cysts - This is the most common type of ovarian cyst that occur in most women. And This functional cyst
often form during the menstrual cycle. There are two (2) types of
functional cyst:
1. Follicle
cysts. These cysts form when the
sac doesn't break open to release the egg. Then the sac keeps growing. This type of cyst most often goes away
in 1 to 3 months.

2. Corpus luteum
cysts. These cysts form if the sac doesn’t dissolve. Instead, the sac seals off
after the egg is released. Then fluid builds up inside. Most of these cysts go away after a few weeks. They can
grow to almost 4 inches. They may bleed or twist the ovary and cause pain. They are rarely cancerous. Some
drugs used to cause ovulation, such as Clomid® or Serophene®, can raise the risk of getting these
cysts.

Endometriotic Cysts - These cysts
form in women who have endometriosis.This problem occurs when tissue that looks and acts like the lining of the
uterus grows outside the uterus. The tissue may attach to the ovary and form a growth. These cysts can be painful
during sex and during your period.
Cystadenomas - These cysts form from cells on the outer surface of the ovary. They are
often filled with a watery fluid or thick, sticky gel. They can become large and cause
pain.
Dermoid Cyst - This type of cyst responsible for about 15 percent of all ovarian growths and are rarely
malignant. These growths are embryonic remnants that may be present from birth. They may contain mature human
tissue consisting of a few fully formed teeth, a mass of hair or portions of bones. Dermoid cysts may rupture and usually are surgically
removed.
Polycystic Cyst - These cysts are caused when eggs mature within the sacs but are not released. The cycle then
repeats. The sacs continue to grow and many cysts form.

If you think you have an ovarian cyst, call your doctor right away. He or she will perform a
pelvic exam. Many cysts can be felt during a pelvic exam, if they are large enough. You may need further
testing.
Test you may undergo:
Ultrasound Test. This painless test uses sound waves to measure the size of the cyst and
see if it is filled with fluid, tissue, or blood.

Doppler Flow Test. This test measures the amount of blood flowing to the ovary. Because
malignant tumors need more blood, there is more blood flow if the cyst is cancerous.
A blood test, called CA 125, measures certain substances that are released by a cancerous cyst.
The results of this test are not always clear.Women with conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or liver
disease also have elevated levels of these substances. The best use for the CA 125 test is to see if a particular
treatment is working for a woman who has ovarian cancer. The test also can be used to screen women with a family
history of ovarian cancer who may be at high risk to develop the disease. Routine screening is not recommended for
every woman.
Based on research, the best way to get rid of ovarian cysts fast is by using this treatment.
