Cyst of the left ovary is a fairly common disease among women. A cyst is a tumor-like formation, the causes and places of occurrence of which can be different. The main problem of this disease is the long absence of any symptoms. As a rule, it is detected either at a late stage, or during a diagnostic examination.
A cyst of the left ovary can develop in women of any age, regardless of the form (type) of the disease. Since such a cyst can
cause infertility, it is very important to detect it in time. And for this you need to regularly undergo preventive examinations.
There are several types of ovarian cysts, each of which has its own signs and consequences.
The corpus luteum cyst is difficult to diagnose, since it exhibits symptoms characteristic of pregnancy. Patients have a significant delay in menstruation, the mammary glands swell. Nausea may occur. A distinctive feature is that such a cyst of the left ovary can burst during intercourse, which will cause an outbreak of severe pain.
The follicular cyst of the left ovary is also difficult to determine, since there are almost no symptoms with it. The main sign characterizing it is a delay in menstruation, after which bleeding can be stronger than usual. In addition to disruption of the cycle, pain during menstruation is noted. Infertility may occur.
The follicular cyst, also called retention, is the most common. It is a hollow formation filled with liquid secretion. Fortunately, such a retention formation of the left ovary is almost completely safe - it never goes into a malignant form.
This formation is characterized by a slow but steady growth. It is due to an increase in cysts that patients can experience pain during menstruation.
So, if a woman has a malfunction of the menstrual cycle, she experiences aching pains in the left part of the lower abdomen, these pains are aggravated by physical exertion and coition, and in the graph of basal temperature monophasis is observed (there is no increase in temperature in the second phase), then she has a retention cyst left ovary.
The reasons for the formation of this tumor may be different. So, stresses, hormonal disorders and disruptions in the neurohumoral regulation of the ovaries contribute to its emergence and development.
A follicular cyst can form in women of any age - even in newborns, but is more common in patients of reproductive age.
In addition to the two described above, there are endometriotic, paraovarial and dermoid types of a disease such as an ovarian cyst.
Fortunately, most often the presence of a cyst does not require urgent surgery. With not too advanced forms, hormone therapy is performed. The course of admission is from three months to six months.
Surgical intervention is required only in extreme cases: with the formation of malignant tumors and with a dermoid cyst, since it can easily go into a malignant form.
