The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They produce a woman's eggs and make female hormones. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs in or on an ovary. They usually form during ovulation, when the ovary releases an egg. They are usually harmless and go away by themselves. Most women have them sometime during their lives.
Most ovarian cysts are small and don't cause symptoms. Women may not find out that they have them until they have a pelvic exam. If there are symptoms, they may include:
- Pressure
- Bloating
- Swelling
- Pain in the lower abdomen, on the side where the cyst is
Nëse mjeku juaj gjen një cistë, ju mund të prisni nëse ajo bëhet më e madhe. Ju mund të keni nevojë për kirurgji nëse keni dhimbje, keni kaluar menopauzën, ose nëse cista nuk largohet. Nëse një cistë shpërthen ose shkakton gjakderdhje, menjëherë duhet të merrni ndihmën mjekësore. Pilulat e kontrollit të lindjes mund të ndihmojnë në parandalimin e cistave të reja.
Rarely, ovarian cysts can become cancerous. This risk increases as you get older.
A health problem that involves ovarian cysts is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS can have high levels of male hormones, irregular or no periods, and small ovarian cysts.
