What are ovaries?
Ovaries are a woman’s reproductive organs that make female hormones and release
an egg from a follicle (a small fluid-filled sac) each month. The follicle is usually
about 2–3 cm when measured across (diameter) but sometimes can be larger.
What is an ovarian cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a larger fluid-filled sac (more than 3 cm in diameter) that develops
on or in an ovary. A cyst can vary in size from a few centimetres to the size of a
large melon. Ovarian cysts may be thin-walled and only contain fluid (known as a
simple cyst) or they may be more complex, containing thick fluid, blood or solid
areas.
Types of Ovarian Cysts:
There are many types of ovarian cysts and these can be categorized into functional
and non-functional cysts.
Functional Ovarian Cysts:
A Follicular cyst is a functional cyst that forms when ovulation does not
occur or if a mature follicle collapses on itself.

A Corpus Luteum cyst is a functional cyst that forms after the egg is released
from the follicle but the sac does not dissolve.
A Hemorrhagic cyst is a functional cyst that occurs when bleeding occurs
within a cyst.
Non-Functional cysts:
An Endometrioma is a cyst that develops because of endometriosis.
A Cystadenoma develops on the surface of the ovary. Often filled with a
watery fluid or a thick, sticky gel, it can grow and cause pain. There are two
varieties: Mucinous cystadenomas (thick mucous) and Serous cystadenoma
(thin fluid).
Teratomas or Dermoid cysts develop from cells within the ovary that are
able to make teeth, hair and other tissues. The cyst can grow large, inflame,
twist and cause pain. Teratomas often occur in younger women and can
involve both ovaries.
Polycystic ovaries occur when the eggs mature within the sacs or follicles but
the follicles do not release the eggs. Ovulation does not occur. This cycle
repeats, follicles grow within the ovary and cysts form.
Signs and Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts: Most ovarian cysts go
unnoticed, cause no problems and go away spontaneously. If symptoms occur, pain
in the abdomen or pelvis is the most common one. Depending on the reason for the
cyst, the pain can be at ovulation time, menstruation, during sex or related to bowel
movements. It may be constant or intermittent; appear suddenly or gradually.
Other symptoms of ovarian cysts may include: Pressure or fullness in the abdomen,
Irregular periods or bleeding between periods, Dull ache in the lower back and
thighs, Breast tenderness, Nausea or vomiting.
Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts: Because most ovarian cysts cause no
symptoms and go away on their own, they are usually found during a routine pelvic
exam.

Features of Polycystic ovaries are their larger size and multiple bluish fluid filled
follicles seen to cover most of the surface of the ovaries. Best seen on the right ovary
being held by the grasper.
Imaging test called Ultrasound. This will show the size, shape and location of the
cyst, and whether it is fluid-filled, solid or mixed. Other tests commonly ordered are
pregnancy tests, hormone tests and others depending on the circumstances.
Occasionally a CT scan or MRI will be performed to better characterize an ovarian
mass. Be certain to tell your healthcare provider if you or a family member has a
history of ovarian cancer.
