Cysts on ovaries arise mainly because of a woman’s normal ovulation process, but before we address how they come about, let’s answer the question – what are these cysts?

Cysts are small fluid or semi solid filled sacs that develop on a woman’s ovaries. They are most common in women in their reproductive years and tend to resolve naturally without any medical intervention.

Most cysts are harmless but some can become may cause problems such as bleeding, rupturing, and abdominal pain.

How do Cysts On Ovaries Come About?

Women normally have two ovaries that store and release eggs on a monthly basis. Each ovary about the size of a walnut, is located on each side of a woman’s uterus.

One ovary produces and releases an egg each month, as part of a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle.

The egg is enclosed in a sac called a follicle and this follicle grows inside the ovary until the hormone estrogen signals the uterus to prepare itself for the egg. The follicle containing the egg is then released from the ovary.

The follicle itself then releases the egg and this egg travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus for fertilisation.

A shell called Corpus Luteum, is left behind after the follicle has released it’s contents.

In turn, the uterus begins to thicken itself and prepare for pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilised all the contents of uterus as expelled as part of the monthly menstrual cycle.

If a follicle after being released from the ovary fails to rupture and release the egg, the fluid remains and forms a cyst on the ovary.

Ovarian cysts tend to resemble bubbles; filled with fluid and surrounded by thin walls. This type of cyst is called a functional or simple cyst and affects women of all ages.

Most of them are also benign (meaning non-cancerous) and tend to disappear on their own within a few weeks without any form of treatment.

Types of Ovarian Cysts:

The most common ovarian cyst is the Follicular cyst and it is formed when ovulation (the release of the egg by the follicle) does not occur or when a mature follicle collapses on itself.

It can grow to about 2.3 inches in diameter and when it ruptures can create sharp severe pain on the side of the ovary on which the cyst appears. Usually, these cysts produce no symptoms and disappear by themselves within a few months.

Other types of cysts on ovaries include the Corpus luteum cyst: This type of functional ovarian cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle.

After this happens, the follicle becomes what is known as a corpus luteum.

If a pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum breaks down and disappears. It may, however, close up on itself, fill with fluid or blood, and remain on the ovary.

Hemorrhagic cyst: This type of functional cyst occurs when bleeding occurs within a cyst.

Dermoid cyst: This abnormal cyst usually affects younger women and may grow to 6 inches in diameter.

This cyst is similar to those present on skin tissue and can contain fat and occasionally bone, hair, and cartilage.

If you reading this article then chances are you have some sort of cysts on your ovaries that has refused to resolve itself and you are wondering what to do.

My favorite personal development tool is my Ipod. Anyone who is serious about changing their life needs to invest in an mp3 player of some sort. I recommend the Ipod. Why do you need an mp3 player? It can hold thousands of songs that can be organized and best of all, it’s portable.

Sure, other mp3 players play mp3s but I find the Ipods easy to manage and use. Although sometimes I wish I could create play lists on the go. However, the benefits far out weight the drawbacks. What I do is setup a play list for every type of development I want to accomplish. For example, I will setup a play list for weight loss, procrastination, being present or conscious, and other personal traits I want to improve.

When do I listen to these mp3s? Well, whenever I can. Before bed, I usually listen to some type of hypnosis mp3. This helps me relax and fall asleep easily. I can set up a play list that will only play 2-3 mp3s, that way, I won’t kill the battery or have to wake up to turn it off, which is another benefit of Ipod of regular or cheap mp3 players.

When purchasing my Ipod, I decided to get the video one. I think it’s worth the difference in price. I’ve downloaded Oprah’s web casts that she recorded with Eckhart Tolle on his book “A New Earth.” I usually watch them when I am in a waiting room of some sort, or as a passenger in a vehicle on a long trip.

When I went in labor with my last baby, I had setup other movies on it for my husband. He was so happy to have it. He watched it while patiently waiting for the little bambino to come out and afterwards as well, while we were waiting to be discharged. It was great.

Another time it came in handy was when I had car trouble and had to wait to be rescued. That turned into another good time to watch Oprah and Eckhart on the web classes.

Another time I usually listen to mp3s is my drive to and from work. It helps start my day off right and relaxes me after a long and frustrating day at work. Before my Ipod, I would think about my day, what happened, what’s going to happen tomorrow. Even when I went to sleep at night, my mind was consumed with work. I didn’t know how to separate myself.

It would take me take me hours to get to sleep. My mind would be racing about work, I would even dream about work. When I woke upit was work, work, workI hated it. There were too many politics and not enough time.

Now, it takes me less than 10 minutes to fall asleep. From the time I lay my head down, to deep sleep. I am so happy. I get a better night sleep and wake up happier in the morning. I have changed my life for the better.

When taking a look at the symptoms of a depressed person, you may have noticed that a person suffering from depression may not even be aware that they have a problem and this can also refer to people that they live with as well.

The number of symptoms of depression is quite large so being aware of them is a positive step forward. Diagnosis however, does not stipulate that a depressed person must have every symptom before they qualify to receive medical attention.

Sadness over an extended period of time and no interest in life around them are often the first signs of depression. Apart from being the earliest signs of depression, they are also the two most common and easy to spot even without professional help.

Speaking of feeling sorry for yourself; another common symptom of depression is when a person actually feels like he or she has nothing to look forward to in their life. These feelings continue to get worse and a pessimistic attitude towards life in general is a sure sign that something is wrong.

Self-guilt can also be combined with lethargy and a feeling of low self esteem to highlight the plight of the depressed individual. How often have you heard a depressed person saying there is nothing to look forward to and known that they must be suffering from depression? So it goes on and these feelings exacerbate the situation and the depression gets worse and the sufferer cannot see any end to it.

This failure to even enjoy your own hobbies and interests just shows how sever depression can become. Once this situation has occurred then it really does mean that something serious is happening.

Physical exhaustion, whilst not actually real is another sign that the condition is worsening. A healthy mind creates a health body they say and although not always true, people with mental disorders are often found to be in poor physical condition.

If left unchecked, there will also be problems with the depressed persons ability to comprehend what is happening around them as their mind wanders and they have difficulty remaining focused on a subject. Lack of attention to what is being said on or around them; depressed individuals also have trouble recalling events that may be recent.

We all know how difficult it is to concentrate when we feel tired so erratic sleep patterns may exacerbate the problems they have with concentration and memory. Often we notice things like how much a person is eating before anything else and if it is not nutritious, this can lead to other problems. Left unchecked, the depression sufferer will feel unwell for regular headaches and stomach pains as well as other bodily pains; there may also be a morbid preoccupation with death, including their.
