What are ovarian cysts and what are their symptoms

What are ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

1. Ovarian cyst refers to a benign tumor of the ovary, which is the most common gynecological disease. It can occur in women of any age, but is more common during the reproductive period. Patients usually have no obvious symptoms and are often discovered accidentally during physical examination. Clinically, the disease progresses slowly, and as the cyst slowly increases, there are often symptoms such as menstrual disorders, abdominal distension and abdominal pain.

2. When these symptoms are more severe, women are more likely to suffer from ovarian cysts, and the chances and risks of developing ovarian cancer if the lesions become malignant are even greater.

3. Clinically, ovarian cysts often present with lower abdominal pain, discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal odor, menstrual irregularities, and usually a firm and painless swelling in the lower abdomen, and sometimes pain during sexual intercourse.

4. 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, loss of appetite, nausea and fever.
