Description
This book describes Complex Ovary Cyst, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
My granddaughter was diagnosed with a complex ovary cyst after 3 months of abdominal bloating and discomfort.
She had been taking bubble tea and was worried that the bubble tea with undigested bubble tea pearls (which are ordinarily made from tapioca starch) was giving her abdominal discomfort, bloating and constipation.
The abdominal pain was occurring every morning and getting worse.
She was referred to a colon specialist who did an ultrasound on her and found a large ovary cyst.
She was then referred to a gynecologist who managed to remove her large ovary cyst through a keyhole surgery without having to remove her normal ovary tissue.
The ovary cyst was sent for histology and showed no malignancy.
However there was evidence of a benign cystic teratoma which is normally congenital or present at birth which has slowly grown in size.
An ovary cyst is a sac filled with fluid or semi-fluid that forms on or inside an ovary.
Ovary cysts or tumors can be divided into three main groups:
1. Functional (24%)
2. Benign (70%)
3. Malignant (6%)
Ovary cysts can either be simple or complex.
Ovary cysts are small sacs that form in or on an ovary.
Ovary cysts can be simple or complex, depending on the substances that are inside them.
Simple cysts are filled with fluid.
Monthly ovulation will often involve the formation of cysts, and they are not normally a cause for concern.
When they produce no problems, they are called functional cysts.
Complex cysts are less frequent than simple cysts.
Either blood or a solid substance is present in complex cysts.
Unlike simple cysts, complex cysts are not linked to the typical menstrual cycle.
Most cysts are not harmful.
According to the Office of Women's Health (OWH), cancerous cysts are rare and more frequent in older women.
The different types of complex ovary cyst are:
1. Endometriomas.
This type happens when the cells of the uterine lining develop in or around the ovaries or on the uterus.
Endometriomas contain a thick brown fluid.
2. Dermoids.
Skin, hair, fat, or teeth cells comprise dermoid cysts.
3. Cystadenomas.
These cysts are made of ovary tissue and contain mucus or fluid.
In many cases, medical experts do not know what causes complex ovary cysts.
If complex ovary cysts do cause symptoms, people may notice these:
1. Pressure or bloating in the abdomen
2. General pain in the lower abdomen
3. Vomiting or nausea if the cyst causes the ovaries to bend or twist
4. An urgent or frequent need to urinate if the cyst pushes on the bladder
5. A severe pain that comes on rapidly if the cyst bursts
Diagnosis:
The doctor may find a cyst during a pelvic examination, or when the patient has an ultrasound test for another disorder.
Ultrasound may be used to diagnose a cyst.
Treatment
Functional ovary cysts often do not require treatment.
They often resolve on their own within 8 to 12 weeks.
1. Complex cysts are more likely to need treatment than simple cysts.
2. According to the OWH, between 5–10 percent of women with ovary cysts will have surgery. Of that number, between 13–21 percent are cancerous.
3. A doctor may recommend surgery when a cyst is becoming too large, interfering with the ovary or other organs, or is painful.
4. A surgeon will often use laparoscopy to remove an ovary cyst.
Here, the medical team places the patient under general anesthesia, and the surgeon does keyhole surgery, using small entry incisions, to remove the cyst.
If laparoscopy is not available or if cancer is suspected, an open incisional method (laparotomy) is done to remove the complex ovary cyst.
Benign ovary cyst are removed by laparoscopy.
