An ovarian cyst is a small enclosed space within the ovary containing fluids within a thin boundary. A follicle that is over 2cm bigger than the usual size is classified as an ovarian cyst. Most ovarian cysts are benign or simply functional. However, if they are the hemorrhagic type they can become ovarian cysts that are very painful. Other names for a hemorrhagic cyst are blood cyst; haematocyst; and haemotocele. Such a cyst occurs when a blood vessel in the system breaks and blood enters into the system. Experiencing pain to the right of the abdomen is a classic sign of a hemorrhagic cyst. Bleeding can be rapid and extensive and cover the whole ovary in a short time to produce considerable pain. The blood in the ovary can then start to form clots that can be seen typically on a sonogram. Sometimes, a hemorrhagic cyst bursts and releases blood to flood the abdominal cavity.

It is infrequent however for blood to be evacuated via the vagina. It is when the cyst breaks that the pain becomes intolerable. Luckily, these occurrences are self-limiting and do not typically require surgical action. Even if the cyst ruptures, correct health can be restored if the patient rests appropriately. Tetracycline has been indicated as an effective medicament in treating hemorrhagic cysts although a doctor?s authorization should always be sought. When torsion occurs, another kind of painful ovarian cyst is experienced. Ovarian torsion is also called adnexal torsion and is a painful and serious condition that necessitates emergency action.

Endometriosis can cause endometroid cysts which are formed when a small area of endometrial tissue bleeds and is rejected. The tissue becomes transplanted to another place where it grows bigger. As blood builds up in the tissue it turns a darker shade of brown and is therefore referred to as a chocolate cyst. Upon final rupture of the cyst, the fluids inside can enter the uterus, pelvis and the bowels. Severe and unyielding pain is one of the main symptoms of endometriosis. It is when the cyst breaks that the pain is at its most intolerable.

The same ovarian cells that contribute to the growth of teeth and hair can also form dermoid cysts. This is a rare type of cyst but can grow to a large size and become relatively painful. If multiple follicular cysts are created in the ovaries these are known as polycystic ovaries. This phenomenon also known as polycystic ovarian syndrome interferes with the correct menstruation cycle. PCOS stems the ovulation process causing cysts filled with clear fluid to grow around the ovaries. PCOS is still not fully understood by health care professionals. However, the reasons behind PC OS have been suggested as genetic weaknesses or hormonal insufficiencies. Studies indicate that women with resistance to insulin are more likely to contract PCOS. There is also a tendency for women with ovarian cysts to mix up the symptoms of endometriosis with those of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Ovarian cyst torsion can be brought on by a number of factors, and a typical one consists of anatomic developments. Cyst torsion commonly occurs for young teenagers with abnormal growth such as long fallopian tubes or missing mesosalpinx. It is often well into the diagnosis when ovarian cyst torsion is pinpointed which often turns into cyst necrosis or infarction. The pain is piercing in cases of ovarian torsion even if no instances of decease have been registered. The existence of a big corpus luteum during pregnancy makes the risk bigger that a sufferer will undergo ovarian torsion.

The risk of torsion exists for ovarian cysts whether they are malignant or benign. Prescription medicines can bring no long-term solution for the pain of ovarian cysts, even if there may be temporary relief. The factors that lead to the presence of painful ovarian cysts are multiple. They may be responsible for causing the cyst or simply worsen the condition of existing cysts. Risks are even greater for women who are receiving infertility treatment via for example induction of ovulation. The theca luteum cysts will tend to increase the volume of the ovaries in this case. A holistic treatment nonetheless will address the fundamental problem to bring a permanent remedy. This is different to classical medicine, which only addresses the symptoms. In this latter case, results can only be temporary and may also have certain side effects. A holistic remedy is on the other hand a multi-dimensional treatment that addresses all underlying reasons behind the development of ovarian cysts.
