Follicular ovarian cyst

Many girls who are in the childbearing period can not become pregnant. And the saddest thing is that this does not happen in cases when a lot of abortions have been done, and when a child is waiting and preparing for pregnancy. Perhaps you have a follicular ovarian cyst .

To begin with, it is worth explaining what it is and whether it should be feared. In the ovary, before the ovulation, the follicle ripens, from which the egg then appears. If fertilization does not occur, then it dies in half a month. It is on this basis that the calendar method of protection is invented. But now it is often possible to find a situation when the capsule does not burst and a follicular ovarian cyst is formed. There is nothing terrible about this problem in itself, except the reasons for this.

Actually, often the cause of this ailment is a violation of the amount of certain hormones: some in excess, and others in short supply. The follicular cyst of the ovary, whose treatment can be prescribed only by a doctor, and it is better if it is a gynecologist-endocrinologist, requires observation during 2-3 monthly cycles. The fact is that sometimes a follicular cyst bursts on its own within 3 cycles. But if this did not happen, then perform laparoscopy or surgery with the least penetration into the body (through 2 small holes under the navel).

The follicular cyst of the ovary, the symptoms of which have appeared, must necessarily be inspected. The fact is that usually it does not manifest itself in any way and is detected only by chance at examination or ultrasound examination. Its average size can reach in the diameter of 5-6 cm. However, it happens that this tumor formation (note - it is education, but not a tumor) exceeds 10 cm.

So, if you have a follicular cyst, the symptoms can be: minor pain or a constant weight in the lower abdomen, profuse and painful, prolonged menstrual flow. However, these same symptoms may also indicate other disorders.

As already mentioned, in most cases, the cause of this disease is hormonal imbalance. However, inflammatory processes contribute to this. Therefore, follicular cyst treatment requires anti-inflammatory or hormonal.

This stage is very important. And it is carried out without fail. The doctor's goal is to help the follicle to burst or shrink, because it will save you from surgery.

What exactly hormones need to replenish will prompt the analysis of venous blood. The fact is that often the follicular cyst is accompanied by an increased amount of estrogen. But the defect may be progesterone. This situation is accompanied by excess weight, menstrual irregularities, in particular, amenorrhea, the appearance of various inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs, a tumor of the uterus, etc.

That is why the treatment of the follicular cyst itself is not so much important as the elimination of the causes of its appearance. Sometimes it happens that this problem appears in women on the threshold of menopause or within 5 years after it. This is due to all the same reasons, but treatment is required more active, because The menstrual cycle at this stage of life is extremely unstable or completely absent.

Sometimes the follicular cyst appears in girls with a lack of weight. This only indicates that estrogen is either not elevated or deficient with progesterone. It is ridiculous at a constant problem with the ovaries to advise solely weight loss or the reverse - weight gain. Hormonal balance can not do it even with hard diets.

And therefore we wish you always to remain healthy, and if there is a trouble, then only professional and dedicated doctors should be treated.
