In general, there are three options for dealing with an ovarian cyst: watchful waiting (e.g., waiting to see whether symptoms resolve on their own), [8] additional imaging or investigation (e.g., getting an ultrasound later to see whether the cyst is growing), [8] and; surgery (e.g., surgical removal of the cyst). [8]
Its rupture can create sharp, severe pain on the side of the ovary on which the cyst appears. This sharp pain (sometimes called mittelschmerz) occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, during ovulation.
Clinical symptoms determine the best course of treatment for peritoneal inclusion cysts. [9] When a patient is asymptomatic, ultrasonographic surveillance is recommended. [10] For chronic cysts, aspiration or drainage is a safe, less invasive treatment option. [9]
Benign or malignant; simple or complex An adnexal mass is a lump in the tissue of the adnexa of the uterus (structures which are closely related structurally and functionally to the uterus, such as the ovaries , fallopian tubes , or any of the surrounding connective tissue ).
Biliary cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma constitute less than 5% of intrahepatic cysts originating from the bile duct. [6] Cystadenomas in liver are often confused with hydatid cyst as their appearance on various imaging techniques is nearly same. [7] Treating cystadenomas as hydatid cyst has resulted in recurrence of the cyst. [7]
[1] [17] Less common vaginal cysts are endometrial cysts and vaginitis emphysematosa. Vaginitis emphysematosum is a group of gas-filled cysts on the vaginal wall; these are benign and self-limiting (resolve on their own). [16] [17] [7] Vaginal cysts can also be congenital and associated with urinary system anomalies [18] [19] [20]
While usually asymptomatic, it has been noted that these cysts tend to be more common in women with unexplained infertility (52.1% versus 25.6% in controls, p<0.001) and suggested that they may play a role in infertility. [10] It has been proposed that these cysts interfere with tubal pick-up and function. [11] [12]
A corpus luteum cyst or luteal cyst is a type of ovarian cyst which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely. A corpus luteum cyst does not often occur in women over the age of 50, because eggs are no longer being released after menopause. Corpus luteum cysts may contain blood and other fluids.
