how do ovarian cysts form.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Ovarian cysts form for numerous reasons. The most common type is a follicular cyst, which results from the growth of a follicle.
A follicle is the normal fluid-filled sac that contains an egg. Follicular cysts form when the follicle grows larger than normal during the menstrual cycle and does not open to release the egg. Usually, follicular cysts resolve on their own over the course of days to months.
Cysts can contain blood (hemorrhagic or endometrioid cysts) from injury or leakage of tiny blood vessels into the egg sac. Occasionally, the tissues of the ovary develop abnormally to form other body tissues such as hair or teeth. Cysts with these abnormal tissues are called dermoid cysts.
I would recommend that if you have any pain around the area of your ovaries or you think that you may have an ovarian cyst, that you consult with your doctor/gynaecologist as sometimes cysts can twist around your ovary or rupture causing intense pain.
Good luck :)
