Abnormal
ovarian cyst like dermoid cyst, endometrioma
cyst, cyst adenoma cyst, and ‘polycystic ovarian
disease’ occur due to imbalance of ‘female hormones’,
i.e. progesterone and estrogen. Abnormal ovarian cyst
are quite different as compared to functional cyst. As
the name suggests, these cysts result out of abnormal
growth of cells. However, they cannot be termed as
cancerous.
Most of these cysts are just benign growths.
The reason behind this abnormal growth is still being
found out. Such cysts are likely of remaining forever,
without having any problems caused. They can also burst
at times, thereby needing an immediate surgery. Let
these ovarian cysts be studied in details:
Dermoid
cyst
Such sort
of cyst is filled with different kinds of tissues
inclusive of skin and air. Medically, it’s a ‘cystic
teratoma’ which contains mature skin full with sweat
glands and hair follicles, at times long hair clumps,
and very often, pockets of blood, sebum, cartilage,
eyes, teeth, nails, bone, fat, and ‘thyroid tissue. Due
to the presence of mature tissue, dermoid cyst is nearly
benign (always). The rarely occurring ‘malignant dermoid
cyst’ normally develops ‘Squamous Cell Carcinoma’ in the
adults. It generally leads to the development of
‘Endodermal Sinus Tumor’ in children and babies.
Periorbital
Dermoid Cysts
Dermoid
cysts are likely to develop in small children. They are
usually found adjoining the eyebrow’s lateral aspect. It
gives a rubbery feeling. These are at times watched and
at times excised. Disruption of dermoid cyst results in
to an ‘Inflammatory Reaction’. There is a possibility of
recurrence of dermoid cyst if it is not excised fully.
At times, full excision isn’t practical if the cyst is
in a ‘Dumbbell Configuration’ where there is an
extension through skull’s suture
line.
Cannot be
Equated with Pilonidal
Cyst
A tiny
dermoid cyst on head, i.e. skull sutures, under tongue,
palate, nose, sinus, etc. or coccyx can become difficult
in terms of distinguishing from pilonidal cyst. The
reason can be stated as both being ‘full of hair’. A
‘pilonidal cyst’ can be referred to as a ‘pilonidal
sinus’ that gets obstructed. Any teratoma adjoining the
surface of body might develop a fistula or sinus.
Cluster can also be developed. A pilonidal cyst can be
referred to as ‘Sacrococcygeal Fistula’, which goes on
to mention about any kind of dermal infection adjoining
the tailbone. It causes a lot of pain on the whole.
Differential
Diagnosis
A
pilonidal cyst resembles dermoid cyst in many ways. The
most significant similarity is the presence of Germ Cell
Tumor. Right diagnosis is essential as all the teratomas
need surgical excision. It should be noted that this
surgery should take place without any sort of spillage.
A reputable oncologist must be consulted for this
purpose.
Endometrioma
Cyst
This cyst
is better known as ‘chocolate cyst of endometriosis.
It’s formed when tissue identical to uterus lining gets
attached to ovaries.
Cyst
adenoma Cyst
This is
the ovarian cyst that develops from cells on outer
surface of ovaries. Mucinous cyst adenomas, in
particular, are the biggest tumors in human beings. An
Ovarian Mucinous Cyst adenoma can weigh as much as 328
lb, i.e. 149 Kg. These cysts are reported to take place
at the young age. In most of the cases, tumor happens to
be unilateral. Malignant alteration is a very rare
thing, but can occur at times. Owing to such a
potential, the above-mentioned tumors should be
classified historically and treated
appropriately.
Mutinous
cyst adenomas generally fall in the category of
asymptomatic cysts. However, they can be present in
certain patients due to some abdominal mass. Hence,
while looking in to abdominal complaints of non-specific
nature, a gynaecologic test should be performed. There
should be maintenance of High Index Of Suspicion with
regards to pelvic pathology.
Polycystic
Ovarian Cyst
The cyst
that forms from build up of ‘Follicle Cysts’, thereby
causing ovaries to get thickened is called ‘polycystic
ovarian cyst’. The ovaries get enlarged due to this and
a thick covering is created at the outer end that might
cause the prevention of ovulation from its occurrence.
This can lead to fertility problems as well. Polycystic
ovarian cyst is the kind of abnormal ovarian cyst known
as PCOS.
Holistic
approach
All the
above-mentioned ‘abnormal ovarian cyst’ can be cured by
opting for holistic approach in the best possible
manner. Its divinity makes the way for cure of abnormal
ovarian cyst. Holistic approach is drawing more and more
attention now days, due to its harmless nature. One also
tends to become physically and mentally strong by
resorting to holistic approach. As cysts might have
several possible causes, right from imbalances on the
hormonal front to stress on the emotional front, a
Holistic Approach towards healing needs to include
measures for balancing and improving mental, emotional,
and physical health. Regular exercise is suggested on
this count. That’s how holistic approach towards
treating abnormal ovarian cyst
works!
