In medicine, there are several types of ovarian cysts:

1. Functional. They appear at some stage of life and can be treated with hormonal drugs.
2. Organic. More dangerous. They are not amenable to rapid treatment. These include:

Dermoid. The development process is slow, small in size. It is a mucoid mass with particles of embryonic tissue (cartilage, skin, fat).
Endometrioid. It is usually dark in color, like blood. Its growth provokes the formation of the inner layer of the mucosa on the walls of the uterus.
Yellow body cyst. Refers to the first type. Its name is for the color of the shell. The walls are dense. Despite the fact that the contents of the cyst are light, a bloody liquid flows out during a hemorrhage.
Follicular. Thin walls, the surface is smooth.

Regardless of the type of ovarian cyst in your case, one should remember about it and observe a small precautionary rule - it is better to avoid hot baths. The fact is that from the temperature drops or from the banal heating of the body, the cyst can burst. This can lead to a violation of the integrity of the ovary and as a consequence - internal bleeding and surgery.
