Is ovarian cyst more serious or uterine fibroids more serious?

Which is more serious, ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids?

1. Ovarian cysts can be benign or malignant. They are caused by cystic masses in the ovaries. They can occur in people of all ages and are one of the most serious tumors that threaten women's health. Most people with ovarian cysts do not have obvious symptoms. They are usually discovered accidentally during gynecological examinations or when visiting the hospital's gynecology department for other reasons. Only a few people may have symptoms such as menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and infertility.

2. Ovaries are important reproductive organs for women. Cysts will inevitably affect fertility. Whether a woman can get pregnant normally is closely related to the size of her ovarian cysts. Ovaries are where eggs develop, mature, and are expelled. If the follicles at different stages in the ovarian cortex are damaged, the development, maturation, and expulsion of the eggs will be impaired, leading to infertility.

3. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in female reproductive organs and are also one of the most common tumors in the human body. Uterine fibroids are mainly formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells. A small amount of connective tissue fibers exist only as a supporting tissue. Therefore, they cannot be called uterine fibroids, myofibromas or fibroids based on the amount of connective tissue fibers. The exact name should be uterine smooth muscle tumors, commonly known as uterine fibroids.
