The ovarian cyst burst: the consequences, causes, symptoms

Ovarian cyst is a very common pathology among women of different ages. However, few people think about what can result in a timely not eliminated cystic education. Basically, the neoplasm does not give the woman any discomfort for a long time, so any symptomatology may be absent, and the pathology will be detected only at the time of the gynecological examination. In this case, it is still possible to avoid grave consequences.

However, if a woman does not undergo scheduled examinations at a gynecologist, then the cyst can be detected at a critical time when the education has burst. As a result, there are symptoms in the form of heavy bleeding, fever, severe pain syndrome. Therefore, the cyst, as a medical phenomenon, requires detailed study. Every woman should have an understanding about the main symptoms, the causes and possible complications of a burst cyst.

Characteristics of pathological neoplasm

Medical definition of a cyst implies a small formationon the ovary, resembling a bubble with liquid contents. Among the causes, the emergence of cysts are hormonal disorders from apoptosis, gonadotropic hormone. There are several types of cystic formations.

Type of cyst	Brief description
Functional	Localized directly in the yellow body. One of the subspecies of the functional cyst is the luteal cystic formation that develops on the yellow body. The primary reason for activating such a pathology is the excessive accumulation of fluid. Mostly occur after ovulation, then two months later they disappear on their own without giving the woman any discomfort. The second subtype of a functional cyst determines a follicular that can threaten the health of a woman
Endometrioid	Is a direct consequence of endometriosis of the ovaries. In the process of development of endometriosis, bruises on the structure of the ovary occur, where a small cavity is formed, filled with bloody contents. Requires compulsory medical intervention
Cystic	Refers to the category of tumors, but according to all characteristics, it is defined as a cyst. Operative treatment of neoplasm

Note! To the best of the structure( thin film), it is the follicular cyst that can burst and cause damage to female health.

The root causes of the formation of cysts

Experts do not have an unequivocal opinion about the underlying causes of cystic neoplasm, but there are common reasons:

1. Gynecological ailments.
2. Problems with the functionality of the hormonal system.
3. With regular sex without the use of contraceptive protection.
4. Due to gynecological interventions.
5. As a result of frequent stresses.

This is important! Depending on the type of cyst, its size and timeliness of detection, a specific treatment will be determined( conservative, operative, lack of therapy).

How to recognize the symptoms of a burst cyst?

Apoplexy - this is how the pathological process of cyst rupture is determined in medicine. Often follicular cysts( it is these formations that are prone to ruptures) practically do not bother a woman, so diagnosis of a neoplasm occurs during a gynecological examination. After apoplexy, the following symptoms are observed:

• in the lower abdomen( left or right, depending on the localization of the cyst), there is a cutting pain;
• body temperature is within 39 C;
• heart palpitations;
• feeling of weakness;
• AD sharply decreases;
• reveals profuse bleeding.

All the above signs indicate the need for urgent medical care. In this case, it is worth paying attention that the rupture of the follicular cyst does not require surgical treatment, and there is no pain syndrome. On the contrary, with a burst cyst of the yellow body, there is a significant exacerbation of the symptoms, leading to a surgical removal of the problem.

Consequences of

If a woman has noticed a symptomatology characteristic of a cyst rupture, then specialist help is needed. In the absence of qualified assistance, the following consequences can be observed:

1. The intoxication process is activated. This is due to the penetration of cystic fluid into the abdominal cavity. As a result, poisoning of internal organs, infection of tissues can be observed. This process is dangerous not only for health, but for life, so medical care is a must.
2. High probability of degeneration into malignant formation. Medical practice meets extremely rarely such cases, as the diagnosis and elimination of cystic neoplasm occurs in a timely manner.
3. Removal of ovaries. The result of removing one of the reproductive organs is disappointing - infertility. Changes cover the entire reproductive system, so the hope remains for only one functional ovary, which does not always cope with its functionality.
4. Gynecological ailments. When the cyst ruptures, infection spreads through the female's reproductive system, therefore, secondary gynecological diseases begin to develop.

Attention! Treatment for a burst cyst will be unambiguous - surgery, which can completely eliminate the undesirable consequences.

Possible contraindications for the surgical treatment of a burst cyst

There are cases when a woman is contraindicated in surgical intervention due to rupture of the cystic neoplasm. The reasons for this justification are the following indications:

• pathological processes in the cardiovascular system;
• ailments of the kidneys and liver that are chronic;
• acute infectious diseases;
• anemia in a complicated form of chronic or acute nature.

These cases require conservative treatment, then re-examination of the neoplasm and in the absence of results, decisions about the operation.

Procedures for the detection of a cyst

If a cyst is diagnosed during a gynecological examination, the woman needs regular monitoring by a doctor. Thus, it is possible to prevent the disruption of education and further unpleasant consequences. It is characteristic that the functional kind of cysts does not require treatment, but passes on its own. When there is no improvement in the dynamics, the specialist recommends hormonal therapy.

Tumor neoplasms of non-functional type require expectant management, as growth dynamics are observed. If the cyst does not change over a long time of dimensions, then it is not touched, when the neoplasm begins to grow rapidly, then urgent surgical treatment is indicated. The operation is a preventive measure of apoplexy, peritonitis.

Methods for treatment of ovarian apoplexy

Indications for emergency therapy depend on the condition of the patient and the degree of severity of the disease. The first medical aid is aimed at blocking bleeding and minimizing the pain syndrome. In the case of rupture of the follicular cyst, a cold compress is used in the form of a hot-water bottle with ice.

Other cases require urgent ovarian resection. Under resection is the process of sewing the body. This technique of surgical intervention is not complicated, but also characterized by an easy postoperative period. However, such operations are carried out in case of intoxication, with contraindications to clipping of the cyst. The removal of the ovary occurs if there is a suspicion of malignant formation in order to avoid metastasis.

This is important! If the cystic education gap is diagnosed during pregnancy, the operation is categorically contraindicated. This can lead to an artificial termination of pregnancy. To save a child with a rupture, cysts undergo medical treatment. If there is severe blood loss, the patient will need donor blood.

The conclusion is unambiguous: when diagnosing a cyst rupture, the further tactics of treatment and prevention of consequences will depend on the severity of pathological formation. When the ovary is healthy and not yet damaged by a cyst, only the neoplasm is excised. On the contrary, the extensive defeat of the entire organ confirms its complete removal. When deciding on treatment specialists always take into account the age of the woman and the presence of children.
