How ovarian cysts form

Ovarian cysts are cavities or sacs with liquid content that form in the ovary, vary in size and can affect one or both ovaries. They are frequent and almost always benign. Generally they do not cause problems and in most cases they regress spontaneously within a few months, without the need for any medical or surgical treatment.

What symptoms do they cause?

Cysts tend to be asymptomatic. To cause possible nuisances are only voluminous cysts, i.e. those that exceed five centimeters in diameteras likely happened to Hailey.
In this case, the main complaints are: even intense pain during sexual intercourse, a sense of weight in the pelvic area, difficulty emptying the bladder, the need to urinate frequently and abdominal swelling. In case of torsion or rupture of the cyst the pain can occur suddenly and is very strong and acute.

Hailey Bieber has opened up a lot about her health issues in the past. Earlier this year, she was hospitalized after suffering a mini-stroke called a transient ischemic attack (or TIA). “I had a small blood clot that traveled through a congenital hole in the heart that never closed, and made it all the way to my brain,” a guest told by Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Hailey was in fact also diagnosed with Patent foramen ovale – the so-called “hole in the heart” – a heart abnormality which affects 25/30% of the adult population and is often discovered following small ischemias.

“I never knew I had this hole in my heart, so it was actually fortunate, because I was able to discover it and intervene to close it. Now I have a device fixed forever in my heart.
