Experts explain the types of ovarian cysts

Women's ovaries are very important and are indispensable for having children. However, the ovaries are also the most vulnerable to damage. Ovarian cysts are a relatively common disease. After experts' diagnosis of ovarian cysts, they found that it is not a single type, that is, there are many different types of ovarian cysts. So, what are its specific types?

According to the experience of many experts in diagnosing ovarian cysts, we can divide them into the following categories:

1. Functional ovarian cyst: 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 whether medication is used or not, it usually disappears on its own within three months.

2. Hemorrhagic ovarian 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.

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

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

5. Teratoma: This is a very special cyst. It may be a problem with cell differentiation during the embryonic period, and it takes a long time to show up. 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.

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.

7. Endometrioid tumors have a smooth surface and are often unilocular. Their 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.

From the above content, I believe you can see that the family of ovarian cysts is still very large, which invisibly increases the harm to women's health. Therefore, I hope that the majority of female compatriots will pay more attention to knowledge related to the ovaries and take preventive measures to avoid being harmed by the disease.
