Cysts that occur within the pelvic cavity are very common. Generally speaking they are harmless (benign), although they can cause pain at times. The majority appear whilst women are of child bearing years, although some are seen in post menopausal women. Some women are not aware they have cysts as they do not cause any pain.
The main types of cysts can be broken down into categories;
Functional Cysts - These frequently grow during the ovulatory part of the menstrual cycle but have a tendency to disappear after a few menstrual cycles have passed. They are caused by the non release of the egg during ovulation and fluid then collects causing the swelling.
Graafian Follicle Cyst - This is another version of the above simple cyst. Also known by the name follicular cyst.
Corpus Luteum Cyst - These can rupture at the time of menstruation and slowly disappear over the course of around twelve weeks.
Hemorrhagic cyst - Blood fills the cyst when blood vessels burst and seep into the cyst. This can cause immense one sided pain, generally on the right hand side of the abdomen. The pain occurs when the cyst swells. In a few cases the cyst will rupture sending blood into the abdomen causing extreme pain to the patient. Surgery is not always required and after a short period of time the patient will start to feel better following a period of rest. Antibiotics have not been found to be beneficial if the cyst ruptures as infection does not always follow.
Endometrioid Cyst - or Chocolate cysts, as they are commonly known as, are caused when endometrial tissue flows out of the uterus and attaches itself to other vessels and organs within the pelvic cavity. These patches of tissue bleed during the women's perio - 31802
