Question 1

why do ovarian cysts sometimes contain hair and teeth?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cysts: If this was a dermoid cyst of the ovary, it is ectodermal or skin tissue in origin, just like where hair and teeth come from. Therefore, it can develop hair and teeth in the cyst. Hope this answers your question.

Question 2

does a dermoid ovarian cyst always include hair, teeth, skin etc? just had one removed and doc said it needed to come out, why would that be?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Dermoid cysts contain mature tissues and include one or more of those tissues but not all are always present. It needs to be removed because it will not go away on it's own, could possibly grow larger or even twist upon itself resulting in the need for emergency surgery. If these cysts rupture and spill their contents into the abdomen, peritonitismay develop.

Question 3

will taking the following  vitamins/supplements adversely affect my ovarian cyst: skin, hair, and nail vitamin; maca root; osteo bi-flex?

Accepted Answer

Maca may: Maca can increase testosterone levels which may then affect other hormones.  That is the only one that coud affect you.  The rest are fine.

Question 4

what is a dermoid ovarian cyst with hair?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

could my acne be related to ovarian cysts and excess facial hair? last checked(about a month ago) hormones were okay . my cycles are regular 28 days.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Respectfully, i doubt we fully understand a woman's hormonal symphony. The question we can answer isn't whether you have a relative excess of androgens or what else may be involved, but whether your acne can be treated effectively. If you want, it can be, whether by the oral contraceptive pill,  topical rx (clindamycin, retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide), and/or systemic antibiotics. Thanx 4 writing.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Some cysts can increase the production of testosterone, the male hormone that causes hair growth.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Primary care: Primary care can at least get started, then refer when necessary.

Question 9

i have had ovarian cyst whch was removed.and. had androgen imbalance too.i have neither nw ...what should i  do for facial n chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Unwanted facial hair can have many causes. Birth control pills can do it, as can medical conditions that alter hormone levels, such as polycystic ovaries. If you are taking bcps ask your doctor about changing to another brand; if not, ask about testing to rule out internal medical conditions other than those you've already ruled out.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See below: I presume you had a laparoscopic drainage of ovarian cyst.  If the cyst was not removed you have a high chance of it coming back.
