Cysts in the pelvic cavity, occur mainly in women who are in their reproductive years. They grow on the ovaries and are produced from fluid filled sacs which look a bit like blisters. Normally no treatment is required for many cysts that are common. The causes of cysts are varied and dependant upon their type may result from oestrogen or progesterone imbalance to dysfunctional ovaries.
Functional ovarian cysts occur when the empty follicle that produces an egg every month fails to dissolve and a cyst results from this. Dermoid cysts and polycystic ovarian cysts happen as a result of an imbalance between oestrogen and progesterone which are the two female hormones.
Other cysts will form due to a mixture of reasons. Dermoid cysts are filled with various types of tissue including skin and hair. Endometriosis cysts are blood cysts and occur when the tissue from the lining of the uterus attaches to the ovaries. This will bleed every month when a woman has her period, causing the cyst to swell.
Adenoma cysts. These develop from cells on the outside surface of the ovary. Polycystic ovary syndrome will cause cysts to form on the ovaries. These occur from a build up of follicle cysts and this causes the follicles to thicken. The ovaries then enlarge and then form a thick outer coating. It is thought that this is the reason that ovulation does not always happen in women with polycystic ovaries and can lead to infertility.
Cysts do not always cause any problems or symptoms so many women are not aware that they have them. Common symptoms include a dull ache in the stomach and pain the lower abdominal area.
Surgery is not usually required for asymptomatic cysts and the advice given may be to leave them alone to see if they go of their own accord. If, however, the cyst ruptures or is very painful or large, surgical intervention may be indicated. - 29962
