The ovaries are a pair of almond organs, placed in the pelvis on both sides of the uterus. Each ovary contains thousands of eggs. For many years, a woman undergoes a menstrual cycle every month. Initially, an egg (sometimes more than one) begins to grow in a small one, I create a similar to the purse, called an egg. When the egg matches, The follicle bursts and releases it. This process is called ovulation. Thanks to the movements of the eyelashes inside the fallopian tube, the egg moves down, through the fallopian tube to the uterus. The road from the ovary to the uterus lasts about 3 days.
The ovaries also produce hormones: Estrogeny I Progesteron. When the egg matures, The egg releases estrogen. The influence of estrogens is thickened with the lining of the uterus-if the egg is fertilized, will nest there and transform into an embryo. After the ovarian follicle cracks in the place of the follicle, the body is formed, producing progesterone. This hormone is to help the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, The level of progesterone decreases; menstrual bleeding appears and the whole cycle begins from the beginning.
Ovaries may affect different types of disorders. Infection may occur – Sometimes it only applies to the ovaries, But more often other organs are also covered by the inflammatory process {Look: Adnexitis). Ovarian cysts and tumors take on a mild form and do not give symptoms. They are only noticeable during a routine gynecological examination. Sometimes many small cysts are formed on the ovaries, and this condition is referred to as a syndrome of polycystic ovaries.
Most mild cysts and tumors disappear after several menstrual cycles, but some of them grow and are the cause of various types of ailments. Sometimes this leads to hormonal disorders, which, in turn, causes irregular bleeding, The appearance of hair on the body or pressure on the bladder. Cyst or tumor rupture, as well as their twisting, It can cause acute abdominal pain and inflammation.
Causes
The inflammation of the ovaries is usually caused by factors causing sexually transmitted diseases. The formation of some cysts results from tissue hypertrophy in the place of the egg or the corpus, Small cysts grow and fill with liquid for a long time after the egg is released. Polycystic ovary syndrome is formed, when the follicle does not break, will be "imprisoned” under the ovary surface and it is impossible to release the egg. The egg itself is then transformed into many small cysts. The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome is a thickening ovarian bag, preventing the burst of the egg.
Diagnosis and tests
The doctor will conduct a general and gynecological examination. If he suspects an ovarian cyst or a tumor, He can direct you to the Civil Registry Office. This study uses ultrasonic waves to produce a detailed image of the pelvic organs. These organs can also be viewed during laparoscopy (surgery, which is carried out under general anesthesia); During this procedure, a special device is introduced into the abdominal cavity, enabling a thorough view of the internal organs, and if necessary, tissue collection or even removing any of the organs.
TREATMENT
Treatment of ovarian cyst is often not necessary. Cysts usually disappear spontaneously. Due to the possibilities of cancerous growth in the ovary, In order to recognize changes, you should always use the help of doctors using classic methods of conduct. Natural treatment can only be used to relieve malaise and complications in the course of ovarian diseases.
Conventional medicine
If your doctor finds your ovary inflammation, will prescribe an antibiotic. If it finds the presence of a cyst or tumor, may recommend a reconnaissance surgery to exclude cancer. If you have less than 40 lat, The cyst is soft, and its sizes do not exceed 5 cm, The operation can be postponed 1 the 2 months. It may turn out, that the cyst disappeared spontaneously.
Some doctors prescribe oral contraceptive pills to women, in which cysts are formed against the background of hormonal disorders. The hormones contained in the puzzles inhibit the formation of cyst.
In the case of polycystic ovary syndrome, doctors recommend hormonal treatment to normalize irregular menstrual cycles. Both progesterone is effective, as well as progesterone with estrogen (contained in contraceptive nuts). Sometimes in these cases drug stimulating drugs are also prescribed.
