What are ovarian cysts and what types are there?

Ovarian cyst is one of the three major malignant tumors in women, with an incidence rate of up to 30% and a cancer rate of 10%! It is a cystic mass that appears on the ovary, including: benign, borderline, malignant, and ovarian tumor-like lesions. Therefore, after discovering this disease, the first thing to do is to confirm whether it is benign or malignant! Women of any age can get the disease, and the causes of the disease include genetics, environment, hormones, viruses and other factors. Experts warn that ovarian cysts will not heal themselves without regular treatment, and the treatment mainly focuses on minimally invasive surgery.

Ovarian cysts can be classified into the following categories:

1. Functional cyst: This is the most common cyst. It occurs in women of childbearing age during the ovulation cycle. An abnormal amount of fluid accumulates in the follicle or corpus luteum, forming a follicular cyst or corpus luteum cyst. This functional cyst can sometimes be very large, but regardless of whether medication is used or not, it usually disappears on its own within three months.

2. Hemorrhagic cysts: Sometimes follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts grow too fast, causing the ovarian tissue to tear and bleed. The blood accumulates in the ovary because there is no outlet, which is called a hemorrhagic cyst. This type of cyst usually disappears on its own, but it takes a long time. If the physical discomfort is more obvious, you can take medicine to alleviate the symptoms. Only in a few cases, when the patient presents more serious symptoms, surgical removal is required.
