Unfortunately, the parovarial cyst is quite common. This type of cyst occurs on the ovaries. Usually, they develop in sexually mature women of childbearing age. But sometimes such cysts also occur in teenage girls.

There are paraovarian cysts in about ten percent of cases of all such diseases. One good thing is that this kind of cysts never degenerates into malignant formations. That is, the risk of oncology of the ovary is zero.

Compared to other types of ovarian cysts, the parovarial cyst can grow to large sizes. Usually there are cysts of 8-10 centimeters in diameter. But there are cases when the parovarial cyst grows and fills the entire abdominal cavity. Thus the stomach strongly increases in size.

Causes of parovarial cyst

The causes of the parovarial cyst may be different. In adolescence, the appearance of such a cyst may be due to early puberty. In a more mature age, the cause of cysts can be various diseases or abortions.

Also, the parovarial cyst can occur due to failures in the ovaries and with improper ripening of the follicles. Failures in the work of the endocrine system or in the work of the thyroid gland can also cause a parovarial cyst.

Some drugs or infectious diseases can also stimulate the development of a paraovarian cyst. This disease can provoke a bad ecology or an increased level of stress in a woman.

Symptoms of a parovarial cyst

Basically, all the symptoms of the parovarial cyst are inextricably linked to its size. Small cysts, as a rule, may not show itself for a long time. The main symptom is pain. It appears only when the cyst greatly increases in size.

Usually paraovarian cysts do not grow more than 8 or 10 centimeters. But even a cyst of 5 centimeters can cause pain. Such a cyst can press on the intestine or on the bladder. Pressure can lead to pain when you urinate. It can also cause constipation or upset stomach.

One of the symptoms of a parovarial cyst is pain in the lower abdomen or in the back, in the region of the sacrum. Sometimes, such a cyst can manifest itself through malfunctions of the menstrual cycle.

Paraovarian Ovarian Cyst

The parovarial cyst of the ovary differs from other types of cysts in its composition, size and type of envelope. As a rule, such cysts contain a transparent liquid inside.

In addition, the membrane of the parovarial cyst is thin, which distinguishes it from the true cysts. This cyst is always mono-chamber. A parovarian cyst of the ovary can be on the stem or without the foot. Usually, while the cyst is small, it grows directly on the ovary without a leg. But as you grow, the cyst can form a leg.

Another distinctive feature of such a cyst - it does not degenerate into a cancerous tumor. But at the same time, complications can arise. For example, twisting the cyst leg, which can be accompanied by severe pain.

Paravirus cyst on the right

Very often paraovarial cyst grows on the right ovary. Exposed to this disease are mostly women of childbearing age. But such cysts can appear and at girls at teenage age.

The parovarial cyst on the right can grow between the uterus and the ovary. Small cysts are without a leg, but large ones can form a leg. This leg can consist of a fallopian tube or an ovarian ligament. Such a leg is fraught with complications, because it can be twisted, much ill. In this case, urgent medical intervention or surgery may be necessary.

If the cyst grows large, then it greatly increases the patient's stomach in size. Also, the patient may be concerned about pain in the right side, in the lower abdomen or in the lower back.

If the cyst grows without complications, then the pain will not be strong and pulling. If there was a sharp and severe paroxysmal pain, it may indicate a twisting of the pedicle of the parovarial cyst.

Paravirus cyst left

Paravariar cysts often develop on the right ovary, but can form on both the left or both ovaries simultaneously. Such cysts can grow to quite large sizes, but they burst and are torn rarely.

If the cyst is of small size, a woman generally can not feel any anxiety caused by such a cyst. But a parovarial cyst can cause a number of complications. For example, it can fester. Suppuration causes severe pain and requires urgent surgical intervention.

Also, the cyst can form a leg, and the leg can be twisted. In this case, too, there may be a sharp pain in the lower abdomen and give in the back, in the region of the waist and sacrum. The treatment of the parovarial cyst on the left is identical, treating the same cyst on the right.

Paraovarial serous cyst

Paraovarial serous cyst is a movable cyst. Very often, such a cyst forms a leg. Due to its mobility, the cyst can not cause pain to the patient. Therefore, it is not always possible to diagnose such a cyst in symptomatology.

Most often the parovarial serous ovarian cyst is detected by a gynecologist with a routine gynecological examination. She is probed at the examination. This cyst is filled with serous fluid. The shell of the cyst is relatively thin and the cyst is elastic and mobile to the touch.

But if the cyst greatly increases in size, it can manifest itself through not a sharp and aching pain in the lower abdomen or in the lower back. If the cyst is very large, it can press on different organs of the abdominal cavity. For example, on the bladder or on the intestine. Then there are additional symptoms, such as constipation, frequent defecation or pain when urinating.

Much less often the parovarial cyst leads to palpable disorders or malfunctions in the woman's monthly cycle. These disorders can be expressed by a sharp increase or decrease in the volume of blood released during menstruation.

Paravirus cyst and pregnancy

If a woman was once or have a parovarial cyst during pregnancy, one should not worry. After all, such a cyst is not transmitted to the child at the genetic level and does not affect the development of the fetus in the womb at all.

If the parovarial cyst is not very large, then this formation on the ovary does not in any way affect the ability of a woman to have children. Moreover, a woman can not feel the presence of such a cyst at all. After all, small cysts can not cause pain or other symptoms.

Paraovarial cyst during pregnancy is dangerous because her leg can be twisted. Such torsion can cause severe pain and require urgent surgery. Usually, small cysts grow without a leg, so there can not be such a complication.

But large cysts, as a rule, form a leg and can cause complications during pregnancy. After all, during pregnancy all the organs of the abdominal cavity are shifted and squeezed, which can lead to a twisting of the cyst's leg.

Therefore, a large parovarial cyst is better to remove before the onset of pregnancy. After the operation, it is better to treat, recover and plan the onset of pregnancy not earlier than in a few months.

Diagnosis of paraovarian cyst

Paravariar cyst can not always be diagnosed by symptoms. It all depends on the size of the cyst itself. Small cysts rarely cause pain, violation of menstruation, constipation or pain when urinating.

All these symptoms can occur if the cyst has reached a fairly large size. As a rule, the pain caused by the paraovarian cyst is not sharp, but aching and pulling. It appears in the lower abdomen or in the lower back.

But if the cyst has caused complications, for example, the cyst leg has twisted or the cyst has become inflamed, the pain will be sharp and paroxysmal.

Often, such cysts are found during gynecological examination. That's why it's so important to visit a gynecologist on time. Another diagnosis of parovarial cyst can be performed by ultrasound (ultrasound).

What do need to examine?

Treatment of paraovarian cyst

Treatment of parovarial cysts is not always necessary. If the cyst is small, it does not cause the patient any inconvenience. Such a cyst is not treated. There are cases when cysts of small size dissolve by themselves.

In this case, it is necessary to conduct regular examination of the patient at least once every six months. This will allow to monitor the condition and growth of the cyst, and in time to apply the necessary treatment.

As a rule, the parovarial cyst is treated only in one way - by removal. Currently, remove the cyst can be avoided in band operation. It can be removed with laparoscopy. This is a surgical procedure in which all three tiny incisions on the abdomen are made.

Through these notches introduce tubules, chambers and manipulators. The doctor remotely controls the instruments inside the abdominal cavity and cuts out the cyst. Fortunately, the re-growth of the cyst almost never occurs.

Paraovarial cyst is an education that grows on the site of embryonic "remnants" in the body of a woman. Therefore, once you remove the parovarial cyst, you can get rid of it once and for all.

Removal of paraovarian cyst

Previously, the removal of the parovarial cyst was performed by a cavitary operation. Now this method is not used, because such a cyst can be removed with laparoscopy.

At a laparoscopy, as well as at operation, to the patient do the general narcosis. But, at the same time, the violation of the integrity of the skin and tissues is minimal. For this operation, small incisions of not more than 5 mm are made. Through them, they inject the instruments that remove the cyst. This type of surgery - sparing and the patient can leave the hospital in a couple of days.

In addition, health effects, scars and pain are much less after laparoscopy. Removal of paraovarian cyst is necessary in case of complications. For example, if the cyst leg is twisted, or if the cyst is suppurated. Small cysts are rarely removed, because they do not pose a threat to the health of women and do not cause pain.

Operation with paraovarian cyst

There are two ways to remove the parovarial cyst. This is a laparotomy and a laparoscopy. Laparotomy is a common operation, during which a cut of the abdominal wall is made to get to the ovary and cyst. Usually, this incision is made above the pubis.

With laparotomy, the incision is quite large, stitches are applied to it and a scar remains from it. In the course of such an operation, a rather large loss of blood is likely, since a vessel can burst and a bleeding may begin. Then the vessel is cauterized or sutured.

The operation on the paraovarian cyst is done under general anesthesia. The recovery time after such an operation is much longer than after laparoscopy. One of the reasons why till now cysts are removed with the help of laparotomy is the lack of necessary equipment in hospitals.

After the operation, severe pain may occur, so the use of rather strong pain relievers is necessary. One of the side effects of laparotomy is the possible bleeding. Therefore, the patient should stay in the hospital for a long time under the supervision of doctors.

Laparoscopy of paraovarian cyst

Laparoscopy is a modern surgical method for treating parovarial cyst. This method of surgical intervention has many advantages over laparotomy (cavitary operation).

During laparoscopy, you do not need to make large cuts of the abdominal wall. The instruments are inserted through three small incisions on the abdomen (about 5 mm each). A set of tools can include knives, coagulators, a video camera. Therefore, the surgeon can properly examine the cyst, uterus and ovary. Increase their image and remotely conduct the operation.

Usually, laparoscopy is prescribed for women who have large parovarial cysts or cysts with complications. This operation is performed under general anesthesia.

Treatment of paraovarian cyst by alternative means

There are many alternative treatments for ovarian cysts. It should be remembered that small sized cysts can resolve themselves. And treatment has nothing to do with it. And the big cysts need to be removed, especially if complications and sharp pains have arisen.

Usually alternative medicine uses to treat herbs. And the treatment of parovarial cysts is no exception. Here is one such recipe. You can make a tincture from the collection of herbs.

As a basis for the tincture is taken brandy or alcohol. It also adds honey and a glass of aloe juice. Honey needs a lot (500 gr). All herbs are taken for 50 grams. Here is the list of herbs: yarrow, St. John's wort and wormwood.

As you can see, all these herbs taste bitter, and honey helps make tincture nicer. Herbs should be soaked in 3 liters of hot water and insist for several hours on a steam bath. To keep the tincture warm, it must be poured into a thermos or wrapped and left for 24 hours.

The broth is filtered and mixed with honey, cognac and aloe juice. Keep the tincture in the refrigerator. Take three times a day for 1 tablespoon for half an hour before meals.

But the prescription for alternative medicine is ointment from the ovarian cyst. The composition of the ointment includes homemade unrefined vegetable oil, yolk eggs and beeswax. Oils need to take a glass, and the wax will need grams 30.

The oil is heated in a saucepan on the stove, the wax is added and melted in hot oil. Then add the boiled yolk. Foam forms in this mixture. So, it's time to shoot from the fire. You need to let it cool down, and then heat two more times. Store the ointment in the refrigerator.

Apply for the treatment of parovarial cysts as follows: applied to a tampon and injected into the vagina. The deeper, the better. Leave for a few hours.

Prevention of parovarial cyst

There are several ways to prevent parovarial cysts. One of them is a regular visit to a gynecologist. Often a parovarial cyst can be detected only when examined or when an ultrasound is performed.

Small cysts may not cause pain or other symptoms. Timely diagnosis of parovarial cyst can help in further treatment. Such diagnostics can help in time to react if a complication occurs.

Sometimes, the cause of a parovarial cyst is an infectious disease of the genitourinary system. Therefore, you need to observe personal hygiene, protect yourself from sex with new partners and avoid frequent changes in sexual partners.

Prediction of parovarial cyst

The prognosis of the parovarial cyst is quite favorable, because such cysts rarely degenerate into oncology. In addition, small cysts do not cause anxiety.

Such cysts do not negatively affect the reproductive function of the woman's body if they do not grow to huge proportions. In addition, the parovarial cyst is not inherited from the mother to the daughter through the genes.

Such a cyst does not pose a threat to pregnancy or fetal development. Of course, if the cyst is large, it can burst during pregnancy. But, with the parovarial cyst, ruptures are quite rare.

In addition, the cyst can give complications during pregnancy in the form of a twisted cyst leg. Then urgent surgical intervention is required, which is very undesirable in pregnancy.

Therefore, the prediction of parovarial cysts is better to diagnose and remove in time before the onset of pregnancy. Timely treatment will help the body recover and in a few months the onset of pregnancy will be real.
