ABOUT OVARIAN CYSTS
"Hope is the only thing stronger than fear, so don't get afraid of ovarian cyst". Most of cysts are painless and symptoms are observed during routine pelvic examination. Ovarian cysts formed as a result of menstrual cycle. Cyst are fluid-filled sac developed in one or both ovaries. Ovaries are part of female reproductive system measuring (4x2x3 cm) in reproductively mature women. When fluid-filled cavities are developed in ovaries, it leads to ovarian cysts.
According to Ayurveda ovarian cysts comes under Kaphaj granthi-granthi aartav dosha. Aartav means "ovaries" & granthi means "sac" like formation.
TYPES OF OVARIAN CYSTS
Now, let us discuss about various types of ovarian cysts:-
1. FOLLICULAR CYSTS
It is formed during mid-period of menstrual cycle. An egg bursts out of its follicle and moves down into fallopian tube for fertilization. Formation of follicular cysts occur when follicle does not rupture to release its egg and turns into the shape of cysts.
2. CORPUS LUTEUM CYST
After releasing the egg, ruptured follicle start producing huge amount of estrogen and progesterone for fertilization that is known as corpus luteum. After getting pregnant, corpus luteum is filled with fluid and blood so cyst is formed. But in the case when fertilization does not occur then corpus luteum is again absorbed by body.
3. DERMOID CYSTS
These are sac-like growth containing hair, fat & other tissues in ovaries.
4. CYSTADENOMAS
In this condition non-cancerous growth develop on outer surface of ovaries.
5. ENDOMETRIOMAS
It is a condition when tissues grow outside the uterus & stuck to the ovaries resulting in cyst formation.
6. NONFUNCTIONAL CYSTS
In this condition ovaries make a lot of small cysts and commonly known as polycystic ovarian syndrome. This syndrome makes a women hard to get pregnant. Nonfunctional cysts may be caused by cancer that are more prone in women after menopause.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE OVARIAN CYSTS?
Sonography is technique which uses sound waves to see the images of ovary, uterus, and fallopian tubes to find out cyst in the ovaries. Routes of sonogram are either through vagina or abdomen. With the help of sonogram ovarian cancer can also be diagnosed.
Pelvic ultrasound are done for abdominal and vaginal regions of women and rectal regions of men. In this method high frequency sound waves create images of structures of ovaries and uterus on a video screen.
Laparoscopy is the method by which an instrument is inserted into abdomen through a small cut by giving anesthesia to patient. With the help of this method we can remove the ovarian cysts.
When pregnancy test is positive, it suggests that ruptured follicle after releasing the egg, again fills with fluid.
Blood test are also done because solid ovarian cyst is more prone to ovarian cancer. So the elevated levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) are usually seen in women. But in the case of uterine fibroids and endometriosis, increased level of (CA 125) are also present.
