Ovarian Cyst Description
When you are ovulating, the ovary will create a hormone which will make the follicles grow while the eggs that are in the follicles will mature. Once the egg is fully matured, the follicles will rupture, releasing the egg at the same time. The follicle will then become smaller sacs ( corpus luteum ).
An ovarian cyst will only occur when the follicle fail to rupture and therefore will not become the corpus luteum. Here's a list of the most common ovarian cyst:
1) Follicular Cyst - The sac will not break open to release the egg and continue to grow. This will normally be gone after a few months.
2) Corpus Luteum Cyst - When the sac doesn't fully dissolve, this cyst will form. After the egg is released, the sac will seals off instead. Fluid will fill inside but it will also disappear after a few weeks. Though this can grow quite big and may bleed or cause some pain.
3) Dermoid Cyst - Cells that are able to make growing tissues such as hair or teeth to become part of the ovarian cyst. Can be large and cause pain too.
4) Cystadenomas - Developed from cells on the outer surface of the ovary. Often filled with fluid which can become large and cause pain.
5) Endometriomas -The cyst develop when tissue from the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. These tissue can form a growth as it attach to the ovary. This can cause pain during menstruation or sexual intercourse.
