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.
Some types of cysts contain different matter which may even include skin, hair and teeth. This type are referred to as dermoid cysts. The condition endometriosis can cause cysts to grow on the ovaries called chocolate cysts. They form when some of the lining from the uterus escapes and attaches to the ovaries, causing a cyst and containing trapped blood.
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.
A dull ache in the lower abdomen along with pain or bleeding may indicate a cyst. Although a large majority of cysts do not cause symptoms and therefore a women may not ever know that they have one.
Surgery is not usually indicated in the case of cysts. Unless they rupture or grow very large and start to cause a lot of pain. The majority of cysts disappear of their own accord within a few months of appearing. - 29962
