What are the dangers of ovarian cysts? How to prevent them?

Ovarian cysts are easy to be ignored and difficult to prevent because they are asymptomatic in the early stages. Close monitoring and follow-up of high-risk groups and early diagnosis and treatment can improve prognosis.

1. Carry out health publicity and education, and promote a high-protein, vitamin A-rich diet and avoid high-cholesterol foods. High-risk women can take oral contraceptives for prevention.

2. Screening of high-risk populations: mainly including risk assessment, genetic counseling, and BRCA gene testing. Appropriate medical intervention will be carried out for patients who are considered high-risk by screening.

3. Pay attention to the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian tumors: regular physical examinations every year, combined with B-ultrasound, CA125 and other examinations.

Ovarian cyst hazards: Cysts with thinner walls may spontaneously rupture under external forces, causing acute pain, bleeding from the rupture, and other acute conditions, which may even be life-threatening. Larger cysts may compress nearby organs such as the bladder, rectum, and ureters, causing frequent urination and difficulty in urination and defecation. In severe cases, intestinal obstruction, urinary retention, and hydronephrosis may occur, which in turn may cause more serious kidney lesions. When these symptoms are more severe, women are more likely to suffer from ovarian cysts, and the chances and hazards of malignant lesions and ovarian cancer are greater.
