Multiple cysts in the ovary are a symptom of PCOS in the female body. Read more about PCOS and the symptoms to keep a watch for, in this article.
The most important part of the reproductive system in a woman's body is the ovary. The ovary is responsible for producing eggs. The proper functioning of the ovarian organ is in fact very important for the regularity of periods and the proper working of the other reproductive organs.
Ovarian cysts are in fact the most common ailment affecting the ovary. An ovarian cyst occurs on the surface of the ovarian cyst and is filled with fluid. Ovarian cysts can be of various kinds and can have various causes leading to it. Most women have it at some point or other in their child bearing years. Most cysts do not even cause any symptoms, but some might cause serious problems.
There are two ovaries present in a woman's body. These reproductive organs are walnut-shaped and they are located on the fringed ends of the fallopian tubes. These fallopian tubes act as the pathway for the released egg to reach the center of the uterus. During the monthly cycle one ovary develops and matures an egg. The egg is encased in a sac called the follicle. About day 14 of the menstrual cycle the egg is released from the ovary, and this process of the release of the egg is called the ovulation.
Ovarian cysts generally result in late or missed periods, causing a disruption in the normal menstrual cycle. The finding of an ovarian cyst causes considerable anxiety for women because of the fear of malignancy, but the vast majority of ovarian cysts are benign. However, most are harmless "functional" or "physiologic" cysts. Between 4% and 10% of women of childbearing age develop a potentially serious metabolic dysfunction, known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS also includes hormonal disruptions that can result in persistent acne, excessive body hair, thinning scalp hair, infertility, obesity, and increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and uterine or breast cancer.
Multiple ovarian complex cysts are one of the components of PCOS. Multiple functional cysts can occur as a result of excessive gonadotropin stimulation or sensitivity. In gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma) and rarely in multiple and diabetic pregnancy, HCG causes a condition called hyperreactio luteinalis. In patients being treated for infertility, ovulation induction with gonadotropins (FSH and luteinizing hormone [LH]), and rarely clomiphene citrate, may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, especially if accompanied by HCG administration.
Multiple ovarian cysts Functional ovarian cysts can be affect women of any age, but are generally more common in women of the reproductive age. However, the age range is very wide and sometimes they have been found to occur in females of very young or old age even. Low malignant tumors have been found to occur even at the age of 44. The average age is more than a decade less than that for invasive cystadenocarcinoma. Germ cell tumors are most common in adolescence and rarely occur in those older than 30 years.
There are a number of causes of polycystic ovarian disease. Polycystic ovaries and polycystic ovary syndrome have been associated with one or more of these factors: * Genetic predisposition. * Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinism (high blood levels of insulin). * Obesity. * Hyperandrogenism (excessive production of male hormones). * Abnormality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (organ/hormonal disorder). * Environmental chemical pollution (hormonal disruptors) * Food adulterantion (excitatory amino acids, for example) * Chronic inflammation.
One or the other of the factors mentioned above are generally responsible for the occurrence of multiple complex ovarian cysts.
Multiple cysts in the ovary are hence, a symptom of PCOS in the female body. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common hormonal disorder occurring in women during their reproductive years. It has been found that that 4% to 10% of all women have the disorder. However, since many women don't know they have polycystic ovarian syndrome or some aspect of it, the actual number probably exceeds 10%. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility. Symptoms frequently start to show up soon after puberty. This syndrome, at times, might lead to multiple complex cysts in the ovary.
Holistic remedies work best for multiple ovarian complex cysts. The fact is, conventional remedies just treat the symptoms of the disease without really trying to find out the real causes. And this is why the cyst comes back even after it has been treated. Holistic remedies on the other hand delve deeper into the problem and identifies the real causes of the problem and then treats the disease.
