How many types of ovarian cysts are there?

It is reported that ovarian cysts are most likely to occur in women aged 20 to 50. Women at this stage are in the childbearing stage, and the incidence of ovarian cysts is relatively high at this time. Therefore, women in this age group must pay attention to ovarian care. First of all, they must change many bad habits, such as staying up late, eating heavy foods, etc., and correct them in time. So how many categories of ovarian cysts are there in women?

How many types of ovarian cysts are there?

1. Chocolate cyst: Endometriosis grows in the ovaries, forming a large amount of sticky brown and chocolate-like liquid.

2. Functional cysts: They occur in women of childbearing age during the ovulation cycle. They are caused by an abnormal amount of fluid accumulating in the follicles or corpus luteum. Although they can sometimes be very large, they usually disappear on their own within three months regardless of whether medication is used or not.

3. Teratoma: This is a very special cyst. It may be caused by a problem in cell differentiation during the embryonic period, which will cause the formation of hair, teeth and some oil accumulation in the ovary. So it is best to remove it early.

4. Hemorrhagic cyst: Follicular cyst and corpus luteum cyst grow too rapidly, causing the ovarian tissue to be pulled and bleed. When blood has no outlet, it accumulates in the ovary and becomes a hemorrhagic cyst. It usually goes away on its own but it takes a long time. Medication can be taken to relieve symptoms. In a few cases, patients with more severe symptoms may require resection.

5. Ovarian cancer: Generally speaking, middle-aged and elderly women are more likely to get epithelial cell cancer, which has a higher chance of recurrence and a poor prognosis.

6. Serous epithelial cysts and mucinous epithelial cysts: Because the serous cells and mucinous cells with secretory functions are buried in the ovaries after ovulation, they continuously secrete fluid to form cysts. Requires surgical removal.

7. Endometrioid tumor: The tumor has a smooth surface and is often unilocular. Its inner wall is composed of a layer of tall columnar epithelium that is very similar to the endometrium.

Early signs of ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are located in the pelvic cavity and have no symptoms in the early stages. However, once they are confirmed to be malignant tumors, they spread very quickly, so any subtle abnormalities in the body should not be ignored and should be discovered as early as possible.

Dysmenorrhea: I never had dysmenorrhea, but suddenly one day, I started to have dysmenorrhea or the dysmenorrhea became worse and worse.

Infertility: I have been married for two or three years. My husband and I have not used any contraception. We are looking forward to having a baby, but we are always disappointed.

Frequent urination: I used to sleep through the night and never got up at night, but recently, I have been tossing and turning 3-4 times a night without drinking any water before going to bed.

Menstrual disorders: Menstruation, which used to be very obedient and regular, has become completely irregular in recent times.

Enlarged lower abdomen: I have been controlling my diet just to lose weight, but I haven't eaten much recently and my lower abdomen has grown. I touched my lower abdomen and felt a lump, which was very clear especially in the morning after I got up, but I couldn't feel it after urinating.
