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.
Cysts can contain a mixture of contents. Some even include teeth and nails, these are called dermoid cysts. Endometriosis will causes cysts called chocolate cysts to form on the ovaries. This are caused by the lining of the uterus somehow attaching itself to the outside of the ovaries and causing pain and swelling at the time the woman has her period.
Sometimes cells develop on the outer surface of the ovaries, these are adenoma cysts. In a condition called polycystic ovaries a hormonal imbalance and results in a follicle cysts building up and thickening. In turn the ovaries enlarge and the outer coating becomes very thick which can mean that ovulation cannot occur, leading to fertility problems.
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 required for asymptomatic cysts and the advice given may be to leave them alone to see if they go of their own accord. If, however, the cyst ruptures or is very painful or large, surgical intervention may be indicated.
