On both sides of the uterus of the female pelvis, there are ovaries, which are reproductive organs that produce eggs and secrete female hormones, which have problems with the ovulation process and cause benign tumor cysts. This is called ovarian cyst, a very common disease that accounts for a large number of tumors that occur in the ovary, but the problem is that it is practically difficult to detect and cope with it early because there are no clear initial symptoms. Today, we’re going to talk about ovarian cysts, one of the most important organs for women.
Ovarian cyst & cause
Symptoms of ovarian cyst are tumors that occur in the ovary due to the filling of liquid components inside, and can be mucus, intestinal fluid, fat, blood, and abscess depending on the type. No exact cause of the tumor has been identified so far. However, continuous ovulation and external stimulation are known to cause ovarian cyst symptoms, and continuous ovulation is likely to damage the ovarian surface with ovarian epithelial cells. Because it is in the ovary, the liquid does not leak out and expands, resulting in cysts. It’s highly likely.
Symptoms of ovarian cyst
When a tumor develops, various ovarian cyst symptoms appear, and first, abdominal pain begins from the location of the ovary. Over time, large and small symptoms such as back pain, intestinal obstruction, increased number of urine, and abdominal bloating may occur, and severe twisting of the cyst may cause abdominal pain, but in some cases, it may be asymptomatic. However, if a hormone-secreting tumor occurs, vaginal bleeding may occur, and although it is quite rare, ovarian cyst rupture may cause acute abdominal pain and intra-abdominal bleeding. So to get out of this pain, many women take painkillers, but this medicine alone is hard to control As ovarian cyst rupture treatment can be improved only by surgery, it is necessary to visit a hospital as soon as possible to respond.
Surgery for ovarian cyst
This disease can occur in any woman, and if it occurs in a young person, it disappears naturally without taking any action, so regular observation is sufficient, but if the tumor suddenly grows or the ovarian cyst ruptures as above, it is an emergency, so it should be treated by surgery. In the case of a benign tumor, only the cyst is removed, or the ovary or ovary on the side where the tumor occurred is removed and the other side is not touched. In addition, such ovarian cyst surgery is largely open surgery and laparoscopic surgery using endoscopy, and in most cases, the hospitalization period of the laparoscope is shorter, the recovery speed is faster, and complications are less than open surgery. However, even if it is the same disease, the symptoms, causes, and degree of rupture of ovarian cysts vary from person to person, so it is usually performed through various tests. So, despite the outbreak of this disease. Let’s find out what problems will arise if we leave it as it is.
Problems when not treating ovarian cyst
If the tumor grows to 7~8cm, the aforementioned ovarian cyst symptoms may worsen, resulting in digestive disorders, twisting, and rupture, and symptoms such as infertility or menstrual irregularity may occur depending on the type of tumor. Therefore, in order not to face these symptoms, it may be helpful to visit an obstetrics and gynecology clinic for accurate treatment when you see the above-mentioned symptoms. Even if the size of the tumor is small, it is also necessary to check whether the size of the tumor increases through regular follow-up.
