1) Refresh about the ovaries and fallopian tubes
It’s been long
you learnt in your high school biology textbooks. Inside the pelvis, you have
uterus flanked over by two different ovaries each of size of almond. When you
become pregnant, the egg swaddle over the fluid filled space known as follicle
and soon you realise an egg moving inside the space called follicle.
2) Cyst Formation
If your follicle doesn’t really release any egg, then you will find
it growing much bigger, which end up developing the follicle cyst. The formed
cysts can bring in the bleeding and thus can cause pain inside the pelvic area.
Generally, these things would be seen disappearing under few weeks and thus can
be called as very much small, however, it can be possible to have a bigger size
cyst that can measure a couple of inches as well.
3) Dermoid cyst
Sometime you find the cyst turning dermoid cyst that is formed when
cell over the ovary is seen getting divided. These are not common are can be
seen growing bigger up to 10 cm and 4 inches. At times it may need a surgery to
get rid of the same.
4) Having Ovarian cyst,
how would you know it?
The ovarian cysts do not often bring in symptoms and usually goes
away. However, to know that you have this, you would notice a different kind of
bleeding during your menstrual cycle giving a sign of corpus luteum cyst.

ultrasound, which is usually carried out when you have a pain in the pelvic
area.

procedure like laparotomy or laparoscopy surgery.
