What Are Ovarian Cysts and How Do I Get Rid Of Them?
The ovaries are two organs of the female reproductive system which are located in the pelvis. They resemble almonds in shape and size and can be found on each side of the uterus.

This is the treatment we recommend.During ovulation a structure resembling a cyst called a follicle is formed inside the ovary. The follicle develops and once it has matured it forms a sac on top of the ovary and houses the mature egg. The sac rupture and the mature egg is released. The sac normally disappears once the egg is released. In the event that the sac does not dissolve or closes after the release of the egg it may enlarge with fluid resulting in an ovarian cyst. A cyst which occurs this way is classified as functional ovarian cyst, most of which are not harmful.
Typically ovarian cysts contain only bodily fluids, for which reason they may also disappear after a period of time and not cause any symptoms or pain. However, in some cases a cyst may grow to a large size and twist, rupture or bleed causing pain.
In some other occurrences a cyst may be more than a sac that has been filled with fluid. It may be tissue from the uterus that has grown on the outer surface and attached itself to the ovary forming a growth. Such a condition is called an endometrioma. Cells in the ovary which are capable of hair, teeth and other growth tissues can also come together and form what is known as a dermoid cyst. Pathologic cysts may also occur usually in the form of polycystic ovaries. This is a condition wherein eggs mature within the follicle but are not released and the process is repeated resulting in multiple growths.
These conditions can occur in women of all ages, although it is most commonly manifested in women who are in their child bearing years. An ovarian cyst may present itself in various sizes starting from two centimeters up; it may be grow up to the size of a pea or even up to the size of a cantaloupe. Women in the menopausal age, 50-70 are more likely to have ovarian cysts that present themselves as cancerous.
