Are ovarian cysts contagious? What are the dangers?

Ovarian cysts are not contagious. However, if ovarian cysts are not treated in time, the biggest harm is that they may twist or rupture, causing peritonitis. When ovarian cysts evolve into malignant tumors, they can threaten the patient's life.

The dangers of ovarian cysts are:

1. The harm caused by polycystic ovary syndrome includes diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, many patients with polycystic ovary syndrome have been found to have hyperinsulinemia. Patients with hyperinsulinemia are prone to diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, polycystic ovary syndrome is also a high-risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

2. Abnormal menstruation, infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, which accounts for more than 90% of patients. Some patients will experience continuous menstruation, which is also one of the hazards caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.

3. Affecting image. Generally speaking, the ovaries of patients with PCOS secrete a large amount of androgen, which causes them to show symptoms of excessive androgen, including growing beards, excessive pubic hair, and excessive acne. These conditions may have a negative impact on women's appearance.

4. Infertility: Infertility is the most typical and direct harm caused by PCOS. Progesterone causes the endometrium to secrete. If the endometrium is exposed to estrogen for a long time without the effect of progesterone, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer will occur.
