What are haemorrhagic ovarian cysts and how do they occur?
First of all let's do a little recap on what an ovarian cyst really is. I will not go into too much details but it is essential to understand what they are in order to figure out how they can develop into haemorrhagic cysts.
An ovarian cyst is simply a sac filled up with fluid or sometimes even tissue and hairs that grows either on or within one or both of the ovaries. This is a very simplistic explanation but I believe that this is enough to understand the mechanisms that lead to bleeding cysts.
As you may have already heard many times before, most of them present no danger and the only real issue is unfortunately the pain and discomfort that some unlucky women have to go through. I say "some unlucky women" because some more fortunate ones never have to experience any symptoms whatsoever and aren't necessarily aware of the fact that they have these annoying lumps growing inside their body. How lucky are they!
Women develop haemorrhagic ovarian cysts when one of the blood vessels that are contained within the wall of the cyst suddenly break up. When this happens, the blood contained inside the vessel simply flood into the cyst. This is the basic definition of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, which by the way is often also referred to as a hematocyst in medical terms.
It is also important to specify that in most cases haemorrhagic ovarian cysts are a type of functional cyst. There are of course some exceptions but generally speaking functional cysts are the more likely to develop this kind of complications.
What about taking a look at what actually causes them?
As you may already know by now, functional cysts are the most common ones found in women suffering from the condition. In most cases, there is no complication and a great percentage of women don't even know they have them since functional cysts tend to grow and then disappear on their own without the need for any form of treatment.
However, as I mentioned earlier, some women are less fortunate than others and their cysts won't go away on their own and instead grow bigger and bigger to the point where they can put pressure on the nearby organs and eventually burst and release blood resulting in an haemorrhage.
What are the signs and symptoms?
When such complications arise the pain will be sharp and the discomfort will have nothing to do with the one experienced normally by women who carry such cysts.
Needless to say that if you suspect a haemorrhagic ovarian cyst, the best thing to do is to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In fact, I would advise you to rush to your nearby hospital to make sure that you receive the best possible care in the least possible time.
Blood flooding inside your body is a serious thing and although we are not talking of a massive haemorrhage here, it can still affect you and the risk of developing an infection is not negligible.
What about the treatments?
Once you have been given the right diagnosis, your doctor will decide whether the cyst should be surgically removed or not. Many variables come into the equation at this stage and depending on the actual size of the lump your doctor may choose to leave it and instead prescribe oral birth control pills to treat the cyst. The debate on whether this is the best solution is still open and most physicians tend to believe that prescribing such pills will fix the problem.
It is not wrong but what they don't tell you is that pills and even surgery will not cure your condition. Ovarian cysts will keep on growing once your body has got used to the chemicals. If you have had one or several cysts removed you will most probably experience a real improvement but this will be short-lived since many factors and variables lead to the development of ovarian cysts in general. They include amongst others diet, chemicals, lifestyle and so on.
In order for a woman to make sure that the cysts will not come back is simply to target the root cause of the problem and not to fix it temporarily. Simply covering up the symptoms is big mistake and most women understandably want immediate relief from the pain and discomfort.
Complications such as haemorrhagic ovarian cysts could be avoided with a treatment that goes straight to the core of the problem and the good news is that more and more patients have started to follow alternative treatments and have noticed some real improvement on the long-term.
This is not a case of conventional medicine versus alternative medicine but in this particular case, it has been proven that women who choose the alternative route manage to get rid of their cysts within a very reasonable period of time and most importantly, the results are permanent.
If ovarian cysts are making your life miserable and you want to get rid of them then you must take action TODAY.
