Many ovarian cysts cause no obvious symptoms. If you have a history of developing ovarian cysts, or if you concerned that you might have one for any reason, ask your doctor to monitor for any obvious signs of ovarian cysts during your regular pelvic exams. Your doctor will ask you questions about your health history, possible risk factors, and any unusual symptoms you might be having. There are a few different types of ovarian cysts including follicle, corpus luteum, and non-functional. Different cysts have different risk factors associated with them, and non-functional cysts can be indicative of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Take a close look at your health history, and work with your doctor to determine if you are at risk. You should be monitored for ovarian cysts if you: Are taking certain hormonal medications, such as the fertility drug clomiphene. Have had a serious pelvic infection. Have a previous history of ovarian cysts. Have endometriosis. Have polycystic ovary syndrome, or some other condition that affects your sex hormones. If you are post-menopausal, you are at greater risk of developing cancerous cysts. Most ovarian cysts don't cause any obvious symptoms. Symptoms may occur if your cyst is large, ruptured, or blocking the blood vessels that supply your ovaries. If you have sudden, severe pelvic pain, go to the emergency room or call emergency services immediately. See your doctor if: You experience pelvic pain, either dull and persistent or sharp and sudden. You feel pain during intercourse. You feel the need to urinate frequently. Your periods are unusually heavy, light, or irregular. Your abdomen is bloated or swollen. Your abdomen feels full or heavy, even if you haven't eaten much. You have trouble getting pregnant. You experience any pain in your back or thighs You have frequent nausea or vomiting or a fever. Your doctor may perform several tests to determine if you have ovarian cysts. They will probably start by performing a pelvic ultrasound. If any cysts show up on the ultrasound, the doctor may recommend one or more of the following: A blood-based pregnancy test to detect hormonal changes associated with certain kinds of cysts. A CA 125 blood test to look for elevated proteins that can occur with ovarian cancer and other conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Laparoscopic surgery to examine the cyst directly, remove the cyst, or take tissue samples to test for cancer or other conditions. Depending on the cause of your cyst, its size, and whether it is causing any serious symptoms, your doctor may recommend either removing the cyst or waiting for it to go away on its own. Many cysts heal on their own in about 8-12 weeks. In many cases, the best option is "watchful waiting." Your doctor may recommend that you come in for regular ultrasounds over a period of a few months to monitor the condition of the cyst. If the cyst gets bigger, does not go away after a few months, or causes serious symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the cyst or, if necessary, the entire ovary.

Layer a concealer on top of your moles using a cotton swab or a concealer with a fine tip. You can also try using specific make up products to hide your moles. For example, a concealer made for hiding tattoos can also be used on your moles, as well as tattoo "eraser" products, which are formulated to hide dark markings on your skin. If you have moles on your forehead or above your eyebrows, you may want to consider growing out your bangs so you can cover the moles with your hair.

Article: . One of the best things you can do for your lips, in fact for your skin in general, is to make sure to drink a lot of water. Water not only hydrates your body, it nourishes your skin and promotes new cell growth. In fact, dry lips can be a sign that your body is not getting the amount of water it needs. Although it might be counterintuitive, wetting your lips by licking them with saliva actually causes drying. If you tend to bite your lips when nervous or without realizing it, try using chewing gum to satisfy an oral fixation. Biting your lips causes cracking and can create open sores that may need to be treated with antibiotics. Foods that contain vitamins B and C are especially good for your skin. Consider taking a supplement if your diet lacks these vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids are also extremely good for your skin and can be found in foods like fish, avocado, and almonds. You can also take a daily Omega-3 supplement.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day Refrain from licking your lips. Try not to bite your lips. Eat a diet heavy in fruits and vegetables.
