 | | Pathological cysts: in contrast, pathological cysts are ovarian cysts that do not arise in the ordinary functioning of the ovary. | | | Generally speaking, vaginal surgery for a pathological ovarian cyst is ill-advised. | | | Laparoscopic surgeries for cysts can be more technically difficult than when the same procedure is performed through an incision. |

| | If the pain is from a ruptured hemorrhagic cyst or an ovarian cyst that is twisting, the pain usually worsens until it is extremely severe, necessitating medical attention. | | | Another condition that can occur with ovarian cysts is "torsion" or twisting of the ovary and fallopian tube. | | | If you have a physiologic cyst that grew larger than it should have, usually no treatment is necessary except to decrease the pain. |

| | Only about 10 percent of postmenopausal ovarian cysts are functional cysts. | | | By taking natural progesterone, a patient can fool the body into thinking it is pregnant and STOP the ovarian cyst from growing. | | | "Thus, by using Natural Progesterone the ovarian cyst will NOT be stimulated and, in the passage of one or two such monthly cycles, will very likely shrink and disappear without further treatment." |

| | New laparoscope techniques make surgical cyst management easier on the patient, and good diagnostics can ensure we don't get carried away surgically with mere functional cysts, which are the vast majority of them. | | | If a patient's mother or sister had cancer of the ovary, we worry over any cyst, determined to prove it functional or not. | | | Still, regardless of management, the condition is usually harmless and doesn't require surgery, unless the cyst becomes really huge, bleeds, or twists on itself ("torsion") causing tissue damage. |

| | The only way an endometrioma will disappear on a sonogram, other than surgery, is if it ruptures. | | | Unruptured follicular cysts occur more often when the ovary is surrounded by adhesions (it is more difficult for the egg to escape from the ovary) and is probably more common the first month after pelvic surgery since the hormone production fluctuates with the stress of surgery. | | | These cysts rarely cause pain unless the ovary is surrounded by adhesions (scar tissue). |
