      Ovarian Cysts - Gerard DiLeo

      Introduction

      The future and even the very existence of the human race depend on just a couple of ounces of tissue in a woman's pelvis. For here is where human eggs, hibernating since birth, finally mature and leave their nestled home to accept genetic intermingling from the male of the species. These two important structures are called the ovaries.

      For the purposes of clarity, I have broken the subject up into three sections--the good, the bad, and the ugly--meaning that I'll talk about function (good), cysts (bad), and malignant tumors (ugly). But first it is necessary to have an understanding of ovarian follicles and ovarian cysts.

      Ovarian Cysts and Follicles and Everything In Between

      Every woman after puberty gets them. Every gynecologist feels them. Thankfully, most of them don't really matter at all. They are ovarian cysts and while they often strike fear into a woman's mind, it is up to physicians to tell them not to mind at all.

      It's important to understand the most common type of ovarian cyst--the follicle. An ovarian follicle is that little cavity that grows an egg set for release at mid-cycle, or ovulation (medically, called Estrus). The ovarian follicle is both a result of and an integral part of the menstrual cycle. It contains a little puddle of fluid that functions in the development of the egg. The release of the egg, called ovulation, is the midpoint in the menstrual cycle. If ovulation fails to occur in a timely way, the rest of the cycle is often suspended or irregular. The follicle is
