Learn the facts about ovarian cyst

by Radhika Pawar creative content writer

A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. It can be located in any part of the body, including the ovaries, uterus, liver, lungs, or brain. A cyst may develop as a result of an infection or injury.

 

There are many different types of cysts.

Most are harmless and are just part of the normal process of development. However, some cysts can become cancerous (malignant). If they become large enough, they may cause pain or other signs of distress. Ovarian cyst can be treated if they are found early. Cysts that aren't cancerous may need to be removed surgically. This may be done through an operation known as a laparoscopy. Cysts can also be treated with medications, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches.In most cases, cysts will resolve on their own over time. But if they don't go away or become larger, you should see your doctor right away.

 

Cysts are growths of fluid-filled cavities within tissues.

Most are benign (not cancerous), but some can be cancerous. They may develop from abnormal tissue growth and can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area. Cysts can occur anywhere in the body, but they most often develop in the ovaries.Cysts may occur on one or both ovaries. In women who have had their ovaries removed, cysts may develop in the abdominal cavity or another site of the body. Another type of cyst is a cornual cyst, which is a fluid-filled sac that develops near the end of the nose. The main symptom of a cornual cyst is a blocked nose, but it can also cause pain, pressure, and drainage in the face. A cornual cyst can be treated with surgery to drain it or with medication to relieve the symptoms.

 

Wrapping Up

Cysts that develop on both ovaries are considered bilateral cysts and are more likely to be cancerous than non-bilateral cysts. Bilateral cysts tend to grow quickly, so it’s important to visit your doctor right away if you notice any changes in your appearance or symptoms. Cysts can also form when there is abnormal cell growth within an organ, such as an ovary or prostate. If a cyst becomes irritated or infected, it may need to be surgically removed to prevent further damage. In some cases, a cyst may not require treatment at all. However, if it causes pain or discomfort, a doctor may be able to prescribe medication to relieve symptoms.
