How to determine the presence of pathology by yourself?
Because the signs of retention formation of the left ovary are usually hidden and few, revealing pathology at the initial stage is very problematic. In most cases, women complain of pain of a different nature and intensity, which almost always accompanies menstrual irregularities. A bright picture is observed in acute stages and complications, which is the torsion of the cyst legs , as well as hemorrhage into the cystic cavity.
If there is a retention cyst in the left ovary, the woman on the left, in the iliac region, during palpation, determines a fairly voluminous and elastic formation. In the event of a rupture, a clinic of an "acute abdomen" is observed. Therefore, a woman who does not know about the presence of such a disease, when she has pain, thinks that this is appendicitis.
Quite often the retention formation of the ovary is detected when a woman undergoes a comprehensive examination aimed at finding out the cause of infertility.
With the help of which methods is revealed pathology?
Diagnosis of pathology is performed using ultrasound, vaginal examination and laparoscopy . In some cases, the patient is observed for 8 weeks, until the pathology is established. This concerns, first of all, follicular ovarian cysts.
How is the disease treated?
If after 2-3 menstrual periods the retention formation of the ovary does not disappear, resort to surgical treatment. At the same time, laparoscopy is used, which makes it possible to reduce the postoperative period, as well as reduce the risk of complications.
