What are the specific types of ovarian cysts?

What are the specific types of ovarian cysts? Ovarian cysts are common in women's ovaries. Most cysts are caused by changes in the normal function of the ovaries, so most ovarian cysts are benign. So what are the specific types of ovarian cysts? Let our experts introduce them to you in detail.

Types of ovarian cysts 1. Functional cysts: This is the most common cyst. It occurs in women of childbearing age during the ovulation cycle. An abnormal amount of fluid accumulates in the follicle or corpus luteum, forming a follicular cyst or corpus luteum cyst. This functional cyst can sometimes be very large, but regardless of medication or not, it usually disappears on its own within three months.

Types of ovarian cysts 2. Hemorrhagic cysts: Sometimes follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts grow too fast, causing the ovarian tissue to tear and bleed. The blood accumulates in the ovary because there is no outlet, which is called a hemorrhagic cyst. This type of cyst usually disappears on its own, but it takes a long time. If the physical discomfort is more obvious, you can take medicine to alleviate the symptoms. Only in a few cases, when the patient presents more serious symptoms, surgery is required.

Type 3 of ovarian cysts: Serous epithelial cysts and mucinous epithelial cysts: After three months of observation, cysts that still exist may be epithelial ovarian cysts rather than functional cysts. This is because serous cells and mucinous cells with secretory functions are buried in the ovaries after ovulation, and continuously secrete fluid to form cysts. This type of cyst will not disappear and needs to be removed surgically.

Type 4 of ovarian cysts: Chocolate cysts (endometriosis): Endometriosis grows in the ovaries, forming a large amount of sticky coffee-colored liquid that looks like chocolate. Because endometriosis will grow larger over time, it will gradually erode normal tissues and cause irreversible damage to ovarian tissues. After evaluating its severity, surgery may be required.

Types of ovarian cysts 5. Teratoma: This is a very special cyst. It may be caused by a problem with cell differentiation during the embryonic period, which takes a long time to manifest. It will form a collection of hair, teeth, and some oils in the ovary. Since the teratoma itself will not disappear on its own and may continue to grow, and there is a 15% chance of causing ovarian torsion, it is best to remove it early. Generally speaking, the rate of malignancy is less than one in a thousand.

Types of ovarian cysts 6. Ovarian cancer: The chance of developing ovarian cancer is quite low, but because it is located in the pelvic cavity, it is not easy to detect early. There are many types of ovarian malignant tumors, and their prognosis varies. Generally speaking, middle-aged and elderly women are more likely to get epithelial cell cancer, which has a higher chance of recurrence and a poorer prognosis.

Types of ovarian cysts 7. Endometrioid tumors have a smooth surface and are often unilocular. The inner wall is composed of a layer of tall columnar epithelium that is very similar to the endometrium. The surrounding connective tissue lacks endometrial stroma, and there is no bleeding inside or outside the cyst.
