Such is life: Ovarian cysts (cysts)?

[ad_1]

Assalamualaikum and greetings of solidarity,

Recently, one of my loved ones had to undergo surgery due to an ovarian cyst. If anyone doesn’t know, a cyst is a balloon-like growth that contains fluid in the form of blood or oily fluid. According to doctors, most ovarian cysts are benign and do not turn into cancer, also known as physiological cysts, which occur during a woman’s menstrual cycle. People with cysts usually do not feel any symptoms. However, there are cases where people with cysts also feel some symptoms. I am a person who often complains of stomach pains that feel hard and hard. At first we thought “Aaah…it’s just the wind…” However, until one day he fainted and was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that the cyst had ruptured, causing him to faint because he could not stand the pain.

For the ladies out there. Always get a health check. Prevention is better than cure. The children of Adam must be aware of this so that they can help their loved ones. Well, here I would like to share a little bit of knowledge about ovarian cysts for everyone’s attention and understanding. The following is quoted from the Malaysian Ministry of Health website:

Sista Owari

What does Ovarian Sista mean?

An ovarian cyst or tumor is a buildup of fluid within the ovaries. There are many types of ovarian cysts. The reason why women are so concerned about these cysts is because they are concerned about ovarian cancer. One thing to remember is that most ovarian cysts are not cancerous growths. However, some of these benign cysts need treatment if they do not go away like normal. Only in a few cases do they turn into cancer. The good news is that almost all of these ovarian cysts will go away on their own without the need for treatment. Since most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous), the presence of an ovarian cyst is usually nothing to worry about.

Signs and symptoms

Ovarian cysts are usually harmless and do not cause symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include:

Tight or bloated feeling in the abdomen Weight gain Persistent, non-stabbing pain in one or both sides of the pelvis Pain during intercourse Delayed, irregular, or painful menstruation Increased facial hair
It may feel like severe abdominal pain, fever, and/or vomiting. This may be due to bleeding from a cyst that has ruptured or twisted.

Types of ovarian cysts

Functional cysts – This type is very common. It is associated with abnormalities in the normal ovarian function. For example, they form when the egg tries to release during normal ovulation. It may last up to 4 or 6 weeks. These cysts rarely secrete hormones. Follicular cysts and corpus luteum – Follicular cysts form when the egg-producing follicles in the ovaries enlarge and fill with fluid. Corpus luteum cysts are a mass of yellow tissue that forms with the follicle after ovulation. This type of cyst appears and disappears every month. It is associated with normal ovarian function. Abnormal cyst or tumor cyst – It is the result of cell growth and is mostly benign. In some cases, it can turn into cancer. This abnormal cyst requires treatment from a doctor. This includes:

Dermoid cysts- contain various types of tissues such as fatty material, hair, teeth, bone fragments, and cartilage tissue.
Polycystic ovary – caused by a buildup of small cysts that lead to a hormonal imbalance. This can lead to irregular menstruation, pubic hair on the body, and infertility or infertility.

Things to remember:

Since ovarian cysts are often asymptomatic, it is important for women who have had cysts in the past or have a family history of ovarian tumors to have regular pelvic exams. Women who have had ovarian cysts have a higher risk of developing ovarian cysts again in the future. Endometriosis may become more severe if ovarian cysts develop, and your chances of having an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) are also higher. In some cases, if a malignant ovarian cyst develops, early treatment usually has a better chance of recovery. Women who have ovarian cysts after menopause are more likely to develop a malignancy.

If you feel any tightness, pressure, or discomfort in your pelvis, remember to see a doctor right away. The sooner a cyst is found and treated, the better the chances of recovery.

Detection

You can detect ovarian cysts by:

Pelvic exam, the doctor can feel the size of the ovaries and find any abnormalities that are present.Ultrasound – This device uses sound waves to produce pictures or images of the internal organs by placing a device in the abdomen or inserting a specific device into the vagina.Laparoscopy – A minor surgery that allows the doctor to see the structures inside the abdomen.
Blood tests to detect tumors – These tests are done if your doctor suspects a malignancy.

treat

depending on:

Cyst size and type. Age, whether you are of childbearing age or postmenopausal.. Desire to have children. Overall health level.
The severity of symptoms experienced.

Some cysts go away on their own in one to two months without treatment. If they don’t heal, surgery may be needed to remove the cyst. If the cyst is caught early, it may only require minor surgery to remove the cyst without affecting the ovary. Sometimes the ovaries need to be removed, and surgery may involve removing the fallopian tubes and uterus.
