Ovarian cysts shrink after menstruation

Ovarian cyst is the most common tumor disease in women. The occurrence of this disease will make patients feel very uncomfortable and will also cause great pain. Ovarian cysts can be benign or malignant, and both require timely treatment, but it is also possible that some people's ovarian cysts will disappear naturally. So why do ovarian cysts disappear after menstruation?

Why does ovarian cyst disappear after menstruation?

1. Physiological cyst. If an ovarian cyst is detected before menstruation and disappears hours after menstruation, and there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, then it is considered to be a physiological cyst. Since physiological ovarian cysts are caused by changes in growth hormone during the menstrual cycle, they usually appear before menstruation, disappear after menstruation, or shrink or disappear after 2 to 3 months.

2. The cyst ruptures. If the ovarian cyst disappears after menstruation, but is accompanied by severe lower abdominal pain, low fever, tenderness in the waist muscles, or lower body bleeding, it is considered that the ovarian cyst has ruptured. After the rupture of the ovarian cyst, some patients' cyst fluid flows out directly, while others remain in the pelvis, and immediate surgery is required.

What causes an ovarian cyst to rupture?

1. External forces affect the uterus and ovaries directly or indirectly, causing rupture, such as sexual intercourse, increased intra-abdominal pressure (straining during bowel movements, nausea, vomiting, lifting heavy objects, etc.).

2. Spontaneous rupture Ovarian cysts sometimes rupture spontaneously, such as changes in blood, premenstrual infectious diseases, anemia and malnutrition or other conditions that cause damage to platelets and changes in blood components, leading to bleeding.

3. Ovarian changes such as excessive cold, hot baths, and long-term use of estrogen or estrogens can cause changes in ovarian function, or due to the influence of the plant's central nervous system, cause the overactivity of uterine ovarian cofactors, resulting in bleeding tendency or coagulation disorder.

I believe everyone already knows the reason why ovarian cysts disappear after menstruation. I also know under what circumstances an ovarian cyst will rupture on its own. Therefore, when ovarian cysts occur, you must not be discouraged. You must not only accept active treatment to ensure your own health, but also learn that surprises will continue to occur.
