Should a hemorrhagic cyst be concerned? How is a hemorrhagic cyst treated? Does it pose a threat to life and health? What should be done in the case of a hemorrhagic cyst? The question is answered by the drug. Katarzyna Darecka.
Should you be concerned about a hemorrhagic cyst?
Hello, I am 28 years old and I have had severe abdominal pain recently. I visited an internist, but he referred me to a gynecologist. The gynecologist in turn gave me a referral to USG transwaginalneto see exactly what is happening and where the pains in the lower abdomen are coming from. I had an ultrasound scan a few days ago and now I am waiting for an appointment with the gynecologist again. During the examination, the doctor mentioned something about a hemorrhagic cyst and it disturbed me terribly. The very name of a hemorrhagic cyst sounds extremely dangerous and dangerous to me.
The doctor, however, said nothing more, he only ordered me to see the attending physician and he is to explain everything to me. The pains in the lower abdomen do not go away. I feel worse and worse. In addition, I feel sick more and more often, but I know I’m not pregnant. Is a hemorrhagic cyst serious? What it looks like treatment of a hemorrhagic cyst? Can it be life-threatening? I am very nervous and I don’t know what to do anymore. I am asking for help and reliable information about what is a hemorrhagic cyst and is it dangerous? Regards.
The doctor explains whether a hemorrhagic cyst is dangerous to health and life
A hemorrhagic cyst is a disease entity that is often seen by gynecologists in their daily medical practice. It occurs in women of childbearing age and is the result of ovulation when an egg is released into the fallopian tube, which may cause slight bleeding. However, the exact cause of their occurrence is unknown.
A hemorrhagic cyst is not necessarily something serious or a cause for concern, especially if you do not have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain.
Most resolve spontaneously, so visits to the gynecologist are essential to monitor the tendency for such a cyst to grow or shrink. Surgical intervention may be required if the cyst becomes enlarged or there are symptoms. Management depends on how the cyst is ultrasound. Important ultrasound features determining further treatment include cyst size (especially if it is larger than 10cm) and morphological appearance. Further treatment is also determined by the results of laboratory tests and symptoms presented by you during the interview and physical examination.
Remember that most hemorrhagic cysts resolve on their own within a few months. There are studies that show that inhibiting ovulation with birth control pills may reduce the risk of developing hemorrhagic cysts.
If you experience sudden, severe pain, high fever, go to the gynecology and obstetrics room as soon as possible.
However, if the doctor determines that it is necessary to operate on the ovarian cyst, he will inform you about it. The procedure, depending on the case and the level of damage to the ovary by a hemorrhagic cyst, may be based on the removal of the cyst or the entire ovary. Usually, hemorrhagic cysts do not affect a woman’s reproductive capacity, even if the ovary needs to be surgically removed if the other ovary remains healthy. The only time a hemorrhagic cyst can affect fertility is if it is present in both ovaries and both ovaries must be removed.
