What is dangerous paraovarial cyst

Cyst is a bubble with liquid contents. The walls of benign formation consist of a thin layer of cells, these cells produce a liquid, so that the capsule gradually increases and causes discomfort. The woman should be observed at the gynecologist, the doctor watches the growth of the cyst, and if she does not put pressure on the internal organs, she may not be removed. In the case when the cyst is a threat, it grows rapidly - a puncture is taken or an operation is performed to remove it.

Often cysts are formed inside the ovaries, rarely in the appendages (above the ovary - paraovarial cyst). These capsules differ in histological structure, the nature of the contents, the size, they can have several chambers. A synonym for ovarian cysts is cystadenoma, depending on its location, this formation can be paratuburn (near the fallopian tubes) or paraovarian (within the ovary, formed from its tissues).

Many cysts develop as a result of ovulation and eventually pass by themselves. Abnormal capsules occur with hormonal imbalance of female sex hormones, which are produced by the ovaries. Cysts do not belong to malignant tumors and are unable to degenerate into oncology, mostly they are found in women of young age. It is believed that the paratubrine cyst (in the fallopian tubes) is the most common disease. These are small capsules with a diameter of no more than 2 cm filled with serous fluid.

But the paratubar cyst can also have very large dimensions, which are often located in the region of the fimbrial tube. As a rule, these are tubal gidatids - multiple cysts, they are lined with a cylindrical or cubic epithelium (tissue). Such formations are removed promptly.

Paraovarial cyst is not transmitted at the genetic level, it is formed due to endocrine disorders, sexual disorders, inflammatory process of ovaries of different etiology. Such formations are diagnosed in women no older than 40 years and constitute up to 16% of all cystic formations.

The parovarial ovarian cyst can have a small size (up to 60mm), and can reach huge shapes (the size of a newborn's head) and fill most of the abdominal cavity. Usually they are located above or laterally of the uterus, often single-chambered, oval or round with transparent contents. Small parovarial cysts often do not bother a woman, but as she grows, her abdomen increases, pains in the lower abdomen, sometimes the menstrual cycle is broken and infertility occurs.

Symptoms of a parovarial cyst

As it was said above, that small capsules do not cause inconvenience, they can be found only on ultrasound. With giant forms the signs are as follows:

• Frequent urination ;
• Pain, giving to the sacrum, unpleasant pulling or aching pain in the lower abdomen;
• Sharp pain (acute abdomen) when it ruptures or twists the legs of the cyst.

Paraovarial cyst is dangerous complications. Reaching a large size, the cyst may become inflamed, or its legs may be twisted or ruptured, in which case an emergency surgical procedure is required. Therefore, it is better not to wait until it grows up and conduct a planned operation. After its removal relapses are not observed - the prognosis is favorable.

Diagnosis and treatment

Paraovarial cyst is revealed on gynecological examination, ultrasound, instrumental method. Treatment is only prompt. During the operation, the doctor takes out the capsule with its contents and, if possible, keeps the ovary or fallopian tube. In case of complication, the ovary can be removed, but as it is known, this does not affect the productive function, the woman, even having one ovary, is able to conceive and normally bear the child.
