Benign (harmless) cysts can occur at any stage of a women's life but are more common in her child bearing years. A few post menopausal women will get them, but this is not common. Any type of cyst has the potential to cause pain or to rupture, but many woman are not aware they have them as they will experience no pain. For this reason, cysts are often left until they finally burst.
The types of cysts that can occur can be broken down into categories as follows:-
Functional Cysts - These frequently grow during the ovulatory part of the menstrual cycle but have a tendency to disappear after a few menstrual cycles have passed. They are caused by the non release of the egg during ovulation and fluid then collects causing the swelling.
Graafian Follicle Cyst. - A type of simple cyst. It is also called the follicular cyst.
Corpus Luteum Cyst - These can take around three months to go away and tend to rupture when the women gets her period.
Hemorrhagic cyst - Blood fills the cyst when blood vessels burst and seep into the cyst. This can cause immense one sided pain, generally on the right hand side of the abdomen. The pain occurs when the cyst swells. In a few cases the cyst will rupture sending blood into the abdomen causing extreme pain to the patient. Surgery is not always required and after a short period of time the patient will start to feel better following a period of rest. Antibiotics have not been found to be beneficial if the cyst ruptures as infection does not always follow.
Endometrioid cyst - Endometriosis, a condition when the lining of the uterus implants itself outside of the uterus causing pain and bleeding at these sites during menstruation. They are also known as chocolate cysts as the endometrial tissue causes swelling within the ovary every month. They increase and decrease during the monthly cycle causing pain when swollen as the blood is trapped and has nowhere to go. - 30428
