Uterine Cysts
Uterine cysts are a sac-like structure inside the ovary
that is filled with fluid. There are many reasons for
their formation. The most common type of uterine cyst
is follicular--also called "functional." It
develops during the normal course of the menstrual cycle.
In preparation for ovulation, the ovary develops follicles
on the surface. The follicle releases the egg during
ovulation.
When ovulation does not occur, the follicular cyst develops
and continues to grow. This type of uterine cyst usually
resolves on its own. It often ruptures during the subsequent
menstrual cycle. If it does not rupture, but continues
to grow, there is often persistent pain. A gynecological
examination, and possibly an ultrasound, are performed
to confirm the presence of uterine cysts.
Uterine fibroids are another common source of intense
pain. If your doctor determines that intervention is
needed to reduce the size of a uterine fibroid, ask if
SonoWave technology is the right treatment for you. This
cutting-edge technology is available at Beverly Tower
Wilshire Advanced Imaging Center--one of the few locations
in the nation. We have the training and experience to
provide the relief you need. The combination of magnetic
resonance imaging and ultrasound is unbeatable when it
comes to non-invasive intervention for uterine fibroids.
We have some patient testimonials on file stating how
quickly the results appear. Many notice relief from the
pain within just a few weeks. The heat from the ultrasound
softens the fibroid and it is reabsorbed by the body.
If this sounds like the kind of intervention you need,
give us a call at 310-689-3101.
