Follicular ovarian cyst and pregnancy

Many patients wonder: "Are the follicular ovarian cyst and pregnancy connected?"

Inspection at the gynecologist should occur at least once a year. This is due to the fact that many gynecological pathologies often occur asymptomatically. They are identified on examination by a specialist.

For diagnosis, ultrasound is also used. This method of research is used by doctors quite often. With its help, there is a follicular ovarian cyst, and pregnancy, and other conditions in the pelvic organs of a woman.

If a woman does not visit a gynecologist for a long period of time, she may develop chronic pathologies that sometimes have serious complications.

The follicular cyst is a formation with thin walls of a circular shape, which has a liquid content and a smooth surface. Its size can be from two to seven centimeters in diameter (sometimes more). A follicular cyst is located in the tissue in one of the ovaries. In some cases, these formations are several, but they do not have partitions and all are single-chambered.

This cyst is formed from the follicle, which did not burst. In this "bubble" is the transparent content. Here, the egg is maturing under the influence of hormones. In the first half of the cycle of menstruation, the hormones estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone in the pituitary gland (FSH) are most active. When the egg fully ripens, the follicle bursts and leaves the ovary. This moment is defined as ovulation.

In some cases, such a break does not occur, and the egg from the ovary does not leave, but remains in it. This cycle of menstruation is defined as anovulatory. Thus, a hormone inactive or active follicular ovarian cyst is formed from a non-stalked follicle.

And pregnancy can occur with the same probability as in the absence of any formations.

The main provoking factors are hormonal disorders and inflammatory processes in the female sexual sphere. Often the follicular cyst is detected in the reproductive age and before menopause. After infertility therapy, due to increased stimulation, multiple cysts can develop from both sides. Education is at least a third of all tumors and cysts in girls under fifteen. Follicular formations can be detected even in the ovaries of a newborn and fetus.

Manifestations of a cyst are more dependent on hormonal activity and the presence of accompanying gynecological pathologies (endometriosis, uterine myoma) in the patient.

If the formation releases estrogens, there is a proliferation of the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity, bleeding, premature ripening (in girls). A large cyst is usually accompanied by soreness in the lower abdomen.

Hormonal inactive cysts do not show themselves. Women, as a rule, do not suspect of their existence. Cysts are detected accidentally in the process of ultrasound. After a few months they dissolve themselves.

It happens that the follicular cyst of the right ovary is formed, and in the left is the dominant follicle. However, in the course of a month the situation changes. Thus, according to the results of ultrasound in the left ovary formation is observed, and in the right ovary it has resolved. It should be noted that even in such cases, as a rule, the follicular ovarian cyst and pregnancy are not related.

In addition, this kind of education is not particularly dangerous. It is believed that they leave the woman's body with menstrual secretions for two or three cycles. Therefore, if a follicular cyst is identified , treatment is usually prescribed conservatively. In this case, hormonal preparations, electrophoresis, anti-inflammatory therapy are used.
