Even though there are
quite a good many ovarian cysts in the female ovaries,
but not all of them grow to a very large size, except
for a few that are described below. Mind you, these ovarian cysts
may pose a problem due to their bulky nature. However,
when the woman suffers from the ovarian cyst syndrome,
most of the cysts are benign, which means that they are
non-cancerous and so are not
life-threatening.
Dermoid cysts that are
usually filled with human hair, teeth, skin, bones and
in some cases with sweat glands too can grow fairly
large - up to six inches in diameter. In fact, these are
considered more as tumors than as cysts that develop
from the egg, thus attaining such bizarre
characteristics. However, these tumors or cysts, whatever
you may call them, need close monitoring as they tend to
turn malignant as they
grow.
Cystadenoma cysts that
result from abnormal cell growth are attached to the
ovaries by a stem. They also become abnormally large.
These cysts
have a tendency to twist on the stem and rupture, thus
causing severe pain and complications. However, they do
not produce many symptoms and so you should be careful
about them.
Endometrial cysts grow on the lining of the womb in areas other than the womb and are filled with stale blood. They can become bulky as every month during the period they get filled up with blood. These cysts grow up to 8 inches or more in diameter.
Do not neglect large ovarian cysts. Ask for cyst treatment. Conventional treatments and natural PCOS treatments however are not very effective because only the symptoms are cured and not the real causes. Holistic remedies on the other hand treat the body as a whole and get rid of all the contributing factors.
