What Are Ovarian Cysts?According to the Mayo Clinic ovarian cysts are common among women of childbearing years. Many cysts will occur without symptoms. It is a fluid filled sac either within the ovary or on the surface. It is normally about the size of a single pea, but some can be larger. It's important to know that many cysts occur without symptoms or problems. Since, more than likely you are a woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome unfortunately you can have multiple cysts. That can cause discomfort or effect your ability to conceive. A woman that has PCOS can have all the symptoms of it, but not have cysts on her ovaries. You can also have cysts on your ovaries without the symptoms of PCOS. Certain women are fortunate enough to only have an occasional cyst on her ovary without the complications and symptoms that come along with PCOS. Cysts can be detected by a pelvic exam, a physician should be able to tell if you have any. He/She may also want to do an ultrasound to confirm or evaluate the number and size of cysts. As for any system or organ in our bodies it is effected by our hormones. A women that has some hormonal issues could very well have problems with her ovaries or other organs. Again, I will say it a healthy body is all about being in balance. If you don't have any hormonal imbalances the likelihood of having cysts that cause your PCOS symptoms are very slim. So, by eating a healthy, balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and proper stress management you can increase your ability to maintain a healthy weight and hormone levels.
