Ovarian Cyst

What types of ovarian cysts can women get?

The two main types of ovarian cysts are called “functional cysts.” Functional cysts form as a normal part of the menstrual cycle and are usually benign, or non-cancerous. A follicular cyst is a functional cyst that forms during ovulation when an egg travels out of its follicle in search of sperm. A corpus luteum cyst is a functional cyst that forms after the egg has been released, if the follicle keeps growing after its job is done.

Less common, non-functional cysts that also are usually benign include endometriomas, which are caused by endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the production of many small cysts. Endometriomas and PCOS can interfere with conception.

What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?

Most ovarian cysts don’t cause symptoms. You have likely already had harmless ovarian cysts every month and not known it. If you do experience any of the following symptoms of an ovarian cyst, it’s important to make an appointment with your doctor.

  • Pain in your pelvis, especially during sex and right before or after your period
  • Pain or pressure during bowel movements
  • Feeling of pressure on your bladder that makes you urinate more often or feel like you can’t “go” completely
  • Feeling of heaviness in your abdomen
  • Nausea, vomiting or tenderness in your breasts
  • Unusual vaginal bleeding
What increases the risk of ovarian cysts?


While most women get ovarian cysts, your risk may be higher if you have:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Endometriosis
  • Infertility issues—or take certain infertility drugs such as clomiphene (Clomid, Serophene)
  • History of ovarian cysts

Taking birth control pills may lower your risk of ovarian cysts.

How do doctors diagnose ovarian cysts?

Your doctor may find a cyst on your ovary during a regular pelvic exam. Depending upon the size of a cyst and its characteristics, your doctor may also:

  • Order a pregnancy test—a positive result may indicate the presence of a corpus luteum cyst
  • Test your blood for cancer antigen 125 (CA 125)
  • Perform a pelvic ultrasound to take images of your uterus and ovaries for further analysis of your cyst’s size and location.

Dermoid Cyst

What is Dermoid cyst?

A dermoid cyst is a collection of tissue under the skin. It may contain hair follicles, oil, and sweat glands. In some cases it may contain bone, teeth, or nerves. A dermoid cyst may appear at birth or soon after. Dermoid cysts are often found on the head, neck, or face, most often around the eyes.

What causes a dermoid cyst?

Dermoid cysts are caused when skin and skin structures become trapped during fetal development. Their cell walls are nearly identical to those of the outer skin and may contain multiple skin structures such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and sometimes hair, teeth, or nerves.

Should dermoid cysts be removed?

Dermoid cysts are common. They're usually harmless, but they need surgery to remove them. They don't resolve on their own. Dermoid cysts are a congenital condition.

Can a dermoid cyst turn cancerous?

Ovarian dermoid cysts, or teratomas, are made up of a variety of different cell types. They're a type of ovarian germ cell tumor. Usually these tumors are benign, but occasionally they can be malignant.

Epidermoid Cysts

What is the Epidermoid Cysts?

Epidermoid cysts are typically harmless, slow-growing bumps under the skin. They often appear on areas with more hair such as the scalp, face, trunk, upper back, or groin area. These cysts can range in size from ½ inch to several inches across. Some may have an enlarged pore in the center of them.

How do you get rid of an epidermoid cyst?

Treatment

  1. Injection. This treatment involves injecting the cyst with a medicine that reduces swelling and inflammation.
  2. Incision and drainage. With this method, your doctor makes a small cut in the cyst and gently squeezes out the contents. 
  3. Minor surgery. Your doctor can remove the entire cyst.
What is inside an epidermoid cyst?

An epidermoid, or epidermal, cyst is a small, movable lump under the skin. It forms when surface skin cells move deeper into the skin and multiply. These cells form the wall of the cyst and secrete a soft, yellowish substance called keratin, which fills the cyst.

How long does an epidermoid cyst last?

The packing will need to be removed. Once the pus is drained, antibiotics may not be needed unless the infection has spread into the skin around the wound. The wound will take about 1 to 2 weeks to heal, depending on the size of the abscess.
