Ovarian cysts are sac-like growths or structures within an ovary. These sacs are filled with fluid. In general, the term cyst refers to a fluid-filled structure. And so, all ovarian cysts, by definition, contain at least some fluid.A cyst is a sac, filled with fluid that could show up in almost any part of the body. On or in the ovaries, different types of cysts may form. The most frequent, most common kind of ovarian cyst will be the type called "functional cyst". Functional cysts often form during the normal monthly menstrual cycle.Each month, the natural cycle is that a woman's ovaries will grow small cysts, each containing one of their eggs. When an egg matures, the sac holding it ruptures, releasing the egg. This happens so that the egg can then go down the fallopian tube to the uterus for fertilization.After opening to release the egg, the sac then dissolves. In the case with one kind of functional cyst, named a "follicular cyst", the cyst sac does NOT rupture and release the egg. Then it may just keep on growing. Follicular cysts normally disappear on their own within one to three months.Another kind of functional cyst, called a "corpus luteum cyst", can form if the cyst sac...more

According to a recent magazine article in Parents France, it was revealed that French children experience more illnesses than other babies throughout Europe. According to a French translation service that translated the study to English, one of the main factors is likely to be the fact that only 65 percent of French women breastfeed their babies at birth. Three months after birth, only 38 percent are still breastfeeding, and the number falls to 23 percent after six months post partum. This is an extreme deviation from international recommendations that call for women to breastfeed for the entire time for the first six months at a minimum. However, France has made progress in this respect. In the 1970s only 36.6 percent of French women breastfed their babies at all. This is in stark contrast to other European nations where breastfeeding is viewed as essential and a natural part of life. In Norway, for example, more than 98 percent of women breastfeed their babies at birth. At the three month mark, 90 percent are breastfeeding, and at the six month mark, 80 percent continue to breastfeed. Its simply a difference in how breast feeding is viewed. In Norway, for example, it is...more
