Ovarian Tumors and Cysts, Female DiseaseOvarian Tumors and Cysts are any swelling or enlargement due to over-growth of tissues which can either be benign or malignant. In the case of malignancy, it leads to fast proliferation of the morbid cells. A cyst is a swelling or sac filled with fluid or semi-solid matter and in most cases is a harmless over-growth except that it may increase the size of an organ, giving the latter an ugly appearance. A cystic tumor may contain cavities. In certain cases, the formation of tumors and cysts in the ovaries does not necessarily signify disease. Still, the condition should not be neglected. Ovarian Tumors and Cysts can turn to serious complication during reproduction of the female. Thus, it is advisable to go for immediate treatment once it is diagnosed.

Types of Ovarian Tumors and Cysts
The vast majority of ovarian cysts are non-cancerous (benign), although a small number are cancerous (malignant). Cancerous cysts are more common in women who have been through the menopause. The two main types of ovarian cysts are:


•Functional Ovarian Cysts - Cysts that develop as part of the menstrual cycle are usually harmless and short-lived. These are the most common type.
•Pathological Ovarian Cysts - Cysts that form as a result of abnormal cell growth; these are much less common.

Some women develop a condition called Poly-Cystic Ovary Syndrome. This condition means the ovaries contain a large number of small cysts. It can cause the ovaries to enlarge, and if left untreated, polycystic ovaries can cause infertility.
