What are ovarian cysts and teratomas and what are their symptoms?

What is an ovarian cyst or teratoma? What are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst?

1. Teratoma is a tumor derived from germ cells with multidirectional differentiation potential, often containing a variety of tissue components from the three germ layers, with disordered arrangement structure. Teratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor. It is not evolved after a woman becomes pregnant with a freak, but is derived from the abnormal proliferation of germ cells. It is a tumor that grows in ovarian tissue and is formed by the abnormal proliferation and aggregation of germ cells.

2. Because germ cells contain three tissue components of the human body: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, the tumor will have ectoderm tissues such as hair, oil, skin, teeth, and bone fragments. It may also contain mesoderm or endoderm tissues such as muscle, gastrointestinal, and thyroid tissues.

3. The main symptoms of ovarian cysts are lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, odor, irregular menstruation, and usually a firm and painless swelling in the lower abdomen. Sometimes sexual intercourse may be painful. When the cyst affects hormone production, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or increased hair growth may occur. If the cyst is twisted, there will be severe abdominal pain, dyspnea, decreased appetite, nausea and fever.
