A bit of havoc happened during my recent visit to Coorg. My cousin gets a stomach cramp and collapses. She is moved into the hospital and doctors recommend her to go in for surgery immediately…She had an ovarian cyst rupture!!...
It took us to surprise. With no prior issues regarding ovaries or menstrual cycle, out of the blue she has a cyst rupture. My cousin was lucky she got the right symptoms on time and she got out of it with the surgery.
But it’s not the same always. Not always a cyst rupture shows symptoms. If a cyst rupture is neglected or not detected on time it leads to cancer. I did a little bit of research on it,and found a few things which should be taken care of by women.
Here it goes:
Ovarian Cysts are fluid-filled sacs which are similar to blisters. Ovarian cysts are common among women during their reproductive years and are growths that form on the two almond sized organs on each side of the uterus. Most types of ovarian cysts are harmless and go away without any treatment otherwise one must be aware of How to Cure Ovarian Cysts Naturally.
Ovarian cysts are very common, particularly in women between the ages of 30 and 60. They may be single or multiple, and can occur in one or both ovaries. Most are benign (non-cancerous), but approximately 15 percent are malignant (cancerous).
The normal function of the ovaries is to produce an egg each month. During the process of ovulation, a cyst-like structure called a follicle is formed inside the ovary. The mature follicle ruptures when an egg is released during ovulation. The corpus leteum forms from the empty follicle and if pregnancy does not occur, the corpus leteum dissolves. Sometimes this process does not conclude appropriately causing the most common type of ovarian cyst -- functional ovarian cysts.
The following are possible risk factors for developing Ovarian Cysts:
1. History of previous ovarian cysts
2. Irregular menstrual cycles
3. Increased upper body fat distribution
4. Early menstruation (11 years or younger)
5. Infertility
6. Hypothyroidism or hormonal imbalance
7. Tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer
If you have an Ovarian Cyst, Symptoms are:
· Menstrual irregularities.
· Pelvic pain- a constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs. Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends. Pelvic pain during intercourse
· Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
· Fullness or heaviness in abdomen.
· Pressure on bladder - difficulty emptying your bladder completely.
· Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
· Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting
· painful sex
· weight gain.
