1
Ovarian cyst is a benign formation,which occurs in women of reproductive age and is a small cavity in tissues filled with liquid. The liquid is produced gradually and stretches the walls of the cavity, as a result of which the cyst increases in size and can grow to 15-20 cm in diameter. In the absence of malignant process cells cysts do not divide and do not increase in volume. Proliferation (an increase in the number of unhealthy cells) is observed in malignant ovarian tumors. That is why during the diagnosis the doctor must make sure that he is dealing with a benign neoplasm.

Ovarian cysts may differ in size,location and nature of the content, depending on the type. There are several varieties of cysts - follicular, parovarial, endometrioid, and yellow body cyst. Obtain reliable data on the type of cyst the doctor can only in the course of careful ultrasound and histological examination.

Yellow body cyst and follicular cystbelong to formations of a functional type. As a rule, such cysts do not pose a serious danger to health. They are formed during the menstrual cycle and, in the absence of complications, dissolve themselves after a while. Despite this, functional cysts can not be ignored, since their appearance indicates hormonal failures in the body of a woman.

The follicular cyst is a rounded formation withthin smooth walls and clear contours, filled with a transparent liquid. Usually its diameter does not exceed 5-6 cm. The yellow body cyst is formed on the site of the burst follicle. Its diameter varies from 2 to 10 cm, and the contents may contain blood clots. If the follicular cysts are more often single-chambered, the cyst of the yellow body can have internal septa.

A more serious violation isparaovarian cyst, or cyst appendage. The size of the parovarial cyst can reach 15 cm in diameter, and in medical practice there were isolated cases of giant neoplasms filling the abdominal cavity of the patient. The paravarian cyst does not have internal septa, it often reveals a leg, which threatens the patient with additional complications. Endometrioid cyst occurs outside the uterus, has a smooth whitish shell, is formed from the endometrium. The cause of this formation are hormonal disorders.

The most accurate method for a detailed study of the ovarian cyst is laparoscopy. With the help of laparoscopy, you can not only study the cyst, but also safely remove it from the female body.
