What are Ovarian Cysts?

Ovarian cysts are fluid filled sacs that are located on the outside or within the walls of the ovary. Frequently ovarian cysts can go away on their own and the majority of ovaria cysts are benign.  Ovarian cysts can become extremely large and painful and at times must be surgically removed.

There are many different categories of ovarian cysts and a majority of pre-menepausal women have some type of ovarian cysts. Below is a summary of the many types of ovarian cysts and information about each type.

• Functional
• Endometriomas
• Cystadenomas
• Dermoid Cysts
• Polycystic Ovaries 
   

 Functional Cysts

Functional cysts are the most common of the ovarian cysts types and form during a woman's normal menstrual cycle. During each month, tiny sacs are grown in the ovary to hold the eggs produced.  Normally after and egg has been released from the sac the sac will disolve on it's own.  Sometimes the sac may fail to dissolve or just won't break open and will continue to grow.  When this situation occurs the growth is called a functional cysts. Functional ovarian cysts will naturally disappear within a couple of weeks while some can take up to a month or more to disappear.

Endometriomas, Dermoid, and Cystadenomas Cysts

More serious ovarian cysts that can develop in women are Dermoid, Cystandenomas, and Endometriomas Cysts.  Dermoid and Cystadenomas develop from cells in the ovary with Cystadenomas being filled with a fluid that is liquid or may be sticky.  These cysts can grow quite large and can be extremely painful. Many times these cysts require surgical removal.  When lining of the uterus attaches itself to an ovary is can form a growth which is known as Endometriosis.
