What are the types of pathological ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

Ovarian cysts may be the most common disease in women of childbearing age. Cysts can be physiological, that is, normal, which disappear naturally with the changes in the menstrual cycle, or pathological, which are formed due to disease. Physiological cysts do not require surgery, but pathological cysts often require surgery to make a clear diagnosis and take appropriate treatment.

There are several main types of pathological ovarian cysts:

1. Serous epithelial cysts and mucinous epithelial cysts: Cysts that still exist after three months of observation are likely to be epithelial ovarian cysts rather than functional cysts.

2. Chocolate cyst endometrioma: It refers to endometriosis growing in the ovaries, forming a large amount of sticky coffee-colored chocolate-like liquid in the ovaries.

3. Ovarian teratoma: This is a very special cyst, which may be caused by a problem in cell differentiation during the embryonic period and takes a long time to manifest. It will generate hair, teeth and some oil accumulation in the ovary.

Symptoms of pathological ovarian cysts:

1. Dysmenorrhea: Those who did not have dysmenorrhea before begin to have dysmenorrhea or the dysmenorrhea continues to worsen;

2. Menstrual disorders: The previously regular menstruation becomes completely irregular, often making you flustered;

3. Infertility: Ovarian cysts are a cause of infertility. This has no direct relationship with the size of the cyst, and the reason remains to be determined.
