Most women experience ovarian cysts but many never know them have them. When a bleeding ovarian cyst occurs, however, immediate treatment is required.

Understanding how ovarian cysts form, and what might cause them to bleed, can help a woman know her own body better. When she understands her body processes, she can better consult with her physician about the possibility of ovarian cysts. Women of all ages can have ovarian cysts. However women of childbearing age, still subject to the monthly menstrual cycle, tend to be more prone to them.

Ovarian cysts tend to form in one of the following ways:

Sometimes, an ovary - one of the two walnut-sized organs on either side of the uterus where eggs ripen - fails to release an ovum. The small sac that holds the egg, called a follicle, can close itself off around the unreleased ovum and fill with fluid. Doctors call this kind a "functional cyst."

Another type of ovarian cyst forms when the follicle doesn't dissolve normally after releasing an egg. A cyst that results from this condition is called a "corpus luteum cyst."

Unfortunately, ovarian cysts of any type can rupture and bleed, causing both pain and inflammation in the pelvic area. Bleeding ovarian cysts can occur at any time, resulting in spotting or bleeding between periods and severe pain.

Any time a woman suspects she may have a bleeding ovarian cyst, she should consult her gynecologist immediately. A bleeding ovarian cyst can lead to a serious infection and shouldn't be ignored
