This video shows Two types of Ovarian Cysts and an Ovarian Mass.
Sometimes, a fluid-filled sac called a cyst may develop in one of the ovaries. Many women develop at least one cyst during their lifetime. Most often the cysts are painless and cause no symptoms.
A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (HOC) is an adnexal mass formed because of the occurrence of bleeding into a follicular or corpus luteum cyst (1). Hemorrhagic cysts are commonly seen in clinical practice because hemorrhage into a cyst is usually painful, triggering the patient to consult her physician.
Types of ovarian cysts
There are various types of ovarian cysts, such as dermoid cysts and endometrioma cysts. Functional cysts are the most common type. The two types of functional cysts include follicle and corpus luteum cysts.
Follicle cyst
During a menstrual cycle, the egg grows in a sac called a follicle. This sac is located inside the ovaries. Mostly, this follicle or sac breaks open and releases an egg. But if the follicle doesn’t break open, the fluid inside the follicle can form a cyst in the ovary.
Corpus luteum cysts
Follicle sacs typically dissolve after releasing an egg. But if the sac doesn’t dissolve and the opening of the follicle seals, additional fluid develops inside the sac, and this accumulation of fluid causes a corpus luteum cyst.
Other types of ovarian cysts include:
• Dermoid cysts: sac-like growths on the ovaries that can contain hair, fat, and other tissue
• Cystadenomas: noncancerous growths that can develop on the outer surface of the ovaries
• Endometriomas: tissues that normally grow inside the uterus can develop outside the uterus and attach to the ovaries, resulting in a cyst
Polycystic ovary syndrome. This condition means the ovaries contain a large number of small cysts. It can cause the ovaries to enlarge. If left untreated, polycystic ovaries may cause infertility.
