Brief Introduction of Hemorrhagic Cysts And Treatment
Posted by - 25/10/08 at 04:10 amA hemorrhagic cyst, which is also called a blood cyst, hematocele and hematocyst, occurs when a very small blood vessel in the wall of the cyst breaks and the blood enters the cyst. Hemorrhagic cysts are a type of functional cyst, meaning that they occur normally during the course of the female menstruation process. Functional cysts, also known as simple cysts, have nothing to do with disease.
With hemorrhagic cysts, abdominal pain on one side of the body, often the right side, may be present. The bleeding may occur quickly, and rapidly stretch the covering of the ovary, causing pain. As the blood collects within the ovary, clots form which can be seen on a sonogram. Occasionally hemorrhagic cysts can rupture, with blood entering the abdominal cavity. No blood is seen out of the vagina. If a cyst ruptures, it is usually very painful. Hemorrhagic cysts that rupture are less common. Most hemorrhagic cysts are self-limiting; some need surgical intervention. Even if a hemorrhagic cyst ruptures, in many cases it resolves without surgery.
Heating pads, hot water bottles and ice packs can also be helpful for hemorrhagic cyst symptoms and can release tension and stimulate circulation, as can certain herbal teas, vitamin supplements and avoiding caffeine. Herbal remedies have proven to be effective in the treatment of hemorrhagic cysts. It usually takes between two to six months for the treatment to be completely effective depending upon the size and number of hemorrhagic cysts present. Supplements, such as multivitamins and minerals, have also been found to be effective in the treatment and control of hemorrhagic cysts.

after surgery, is it likely for the pain to come back? And, if it’s painful whenever the menstruation comes, would that mean surgery wasn’t successful, and the pain can come back?
