The ovarian cyst burst - the consequences

Can the ovarian cyst burst, and on what does it depend? If a woman has it, then this does not mean that it will necessarily burst and this will entail an operation. In most cases these neoplasms are functional and pass on their own for several menstrual cycles.

The consequences of rupture of the cyst, depending on the species

Most often there are cysts of the yellow body and follicular, they also tend to tear, because they have a very thin wall. Active sexual intercourse, sport, physical labor can provoke its break.

If such a cyst has burst, the consequences are not always as terrible as many people think. If blood loss is minimal and is about 50-100 ml, then no surgical intervention is required. But in order that the inflammatory process does not arise it is necessary to undergo a course of antibiotics.

The rupture of the usual follicular cyst often passes with the outflow of the liquid contained in it through the vagina, and not into the abdominal cavity. Conversely, a neoplasm located on the stalk can cause tissue necrosis and peritonitis, which is dangerous for the patient's life. But in any case it is necessary to seek help from the doctors who will solve this problem.

If the endometrioid or dermoid ovarian cyst has burst, the consequences can be very serious. It is very likely that an immediate operation is required, because its contents cause blood poisoning very quickly, and even a lethal outcome is possible. When medical care is accessed on time, a laparoscopic operation is performed more often, which is less traumatic than usual.

Do not feel that the cyst has burst, it is simply impossible, because the pain is very strong and a woman can even lose consciousness. But often these signs may be mistaken for appendicitis or obstruction intestines. In order not to guess on the coffee grounds, you should immediately call for emergency help, with the following symptoms:
