What Happens When An Ovarian Cyst Bursts Review

While it is not normal, ovarian cysts can and do burst sometimes. To women, this is generally one of their biggest concerns they have once the discovery of ovarian cysts has been made and many wonder what exactly happens if one ovarian cyst should burst.

Once a ovarian cyst bursts, the quickest thing to happen is that the woman may start to have sever pain shooting through the pelvic area and lower abdomen. The existing condition of the ovarian cyst, including bleeding, possible infection and the composition of the cyst are all factors in the strength of the pain felt.

Individuals who experience the sharp pain of a burst ovarian cyst must immediately rush to a hospital for appropriate treatment. This acute pain is caused by the irritation of the lining of the peritoneal cavity known as the peritoneum. The peritoneum can be irritated by blood or the contents of the cyst. The cyst can also have a high concentration of prostaglandins, which can cause inflammation and cause even more pain to women with ovarian cysts, both directly and indirectly.

There are some superficial similarities between the regular follicle ruptures associated with the release of an egg during a normal menstruation cycle and what happens when an ovarian cyst bursts. However, the actual differences are more substantial. The release of an egg normally causes very little pain or bleeding. An ovarian cyst that bursts usually causes considerable pain and because ovarian cysts are much larger than eggs - up to 5 to 10 cm in diameter - a larger amount of bleeding can result.

After an ovarian cyst bursts the fluid that is released, possibly causing a good ammount of bleeding in the area due to it’s location to a high number of nearby blood vessles. It then only takes 10ml of lost blood in the area of the peritoneum to cause irritation because of the number of nerve endings it has causing allot of pain to women suffering from ovarian cysts. In comparison, the peritoneum is tender, requiring only a 10ml change in pressure, when the average blood donor usually looses five to twenty ml of blood and the only pain they feel is the initial prick of the needle.

An ovarian cyst does not usually rupture since most ovarian cysts usually goes away on their own. In this case, the fluid found inside the ovarian cyst is reabsorbed, causing the ovarian cyst to collapse. Most ovarian cysts do not burst and merely disappear on their own after a few menstrual cycles.

Concern about the risks and what happens when an ovarian cyst bursts is to be expected from women who have ovarian cysts. While extreemly painful, it is hardly ever a immediate threat to your life. Needless to say, if your a woman who is having this happen to you it would still be wise to go to the hospital or to your family doctor if you can and have yourself checked out.

Ovarian Cyst Removal Review

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
by Jay Tyler

Anytime an ovarian cyst is causing severe pain, is ruptured or twisted, large, solid, irregularly shaped, or suspected of being cancerous, removal of the cyst is recommended. The chances of a cyst being cancerous will increase for older patients, so the older the patient with the ovarian cyst is, the more likely that ovarian cyst removal will be undertaken.

Thorough physical examination by your doctor should be done before you have a ovarian cyst removal done. Generally these tests will include X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen to double check the diagnosis, blood and urine tests and going over any current medications and previous medical conditions.

In order to remove an ovarian cyst, a doctor may choose to perform either laparoscopic surgery or open surgery, depending on the type of ovarian cyst that is removed. It is common to perform open surgery on larger cysts.

During laparoscopic surgery, a small tube conveniently called a laparoscope will be put into the body through a small incision in the lower part of the abdomen helping to find the ovarian cyst so the surgeon can then take steps towards it’s removal.

To excise a particularly large cyst, the physician may need to perform a surgical procedure for ovarian cyst removal using general anesthesia. The patient may suffer some discomfort after the operation. Complications such as infection and bleeding may occur as well. The patient must recognize that further cysts may develop in the future. And, while it is rare, the patient may also become infertile and/or suffer clotting.

As long as the surgeon preforming the ovarian cyst removal procedure finds no signs of ovarian cancer it is very uncommon for you to have any complications afterwards and recovery should only take a few weeks. If there are signs of ovarian cancer found, then the removal of one or both of the patients ovaries may have to be removed and a treatment plan will have to be discussed for the ovarian cancer.

Once the Ovarian cyst has been removed you will need to keep in touch with your doctor and let him know if you begin experiencing any symptoms such as abdominal swelling, vomiting, nausea, fever and chills, shortness of breath, excessive pain or bleeding. Ovarian cyst removal is like any other surgery, proper recovery time and monitoring for possible complications is all that is required afterwards.

What Are Dermoid Cysts?

The development of dermoid cysts effects everyone equally no matter age, race or gender. Cysts that grow on the scalp, neck or face are usually very visible at birth, but dermoid cysts that grow on the ovaries can obivously only effect woman and are much less visible.

A dermoid cyst is a complex ovarian cyst that grows from the totipotential germ cell. Known for containing solid physical tissue such as hair, teeth, and bone, a dermoid cyst in the ovaries most often develop during a woman’s prime childbearing years, between the ages of 20 and 40, though they can develop at any age. Dermoid cysts are often surgically removed as a result of the intense pain they produce when they cut off the blood supply of the ovaries. Other dermoid cysts have been known to occur on the face, neck, or scalp.

A dermoid cyst in an ovary is usually a mature teratoma that is benign. Dermoids are fairly common in women over the age of 40 years. Dermoid cysts are rarely cancerous though they make up about one half of all benign ovarian tumors. About 1 to 2 percent of dermoid cysts are cancerous.

Immature teratomas is another name for cancerous dermoid cysts. The early development of a dermoid cyst is what decide if it will be cancerous or not in the future. Containing all types of tissue found in your body including hair, muscle fibers, sweat glands and cartilage, the make up of a dermoid cyst varies, but in general they usually do not become cancerous. Once the development of hair or other features within a dermoid cyst begins, it is very unlikely it will become a cancerous cyst.

Dermoid cysts can be found on one or both ovaries. They usually can be detected during a pelvic examination. They are usually asymptomatic but can twist or rupture, causing severe pain in either the pelvic or abdominal area. Potential complications can be avoided by removing dermoid cysts that develop in ovaries. If the cyst is not removed and continues to develop, peritonitis may result, which is a painful irritation of the abdominal area.

The most common and telling symptom is abdominal or pelvic pain, which may indicate an ovarian cyst that is either bursting or twisting. In this case, the ovarian cyst is usually surgically removed. A dermoid cyst can only be identified as such as by a doctor and does not usually present any symptoms different from any other type of ovarian cyst.

Dermoid cysts, like other types of complex ovarian cysts, should be monitored. All women should be aware of the symptoms of ovarian cysts, and check with their doctors whenever they experience these symptoms. The removal of a dermoid cyst does not affect a woman’s fertility nor does it have any complications during a pregnancy. Nevertheless, individuals must take care of themselves after surgery in order to prevent the formation of scar tissue.
