Three major types of ovarian cyst patients

Ovarian cyst patients can be divided into physiological cysts, chocolate cysts, benign ovarian cysts, etc. according to their clinical manifestations. Among them, physiological cysts are more common in people aged 30 to 50, while chocolate cysts are more common in people aged 18 to 35.

Physiological cyst

The high-risk population for physiological cysts is mainly between 30 and 50 years old. The appearance of the ovaries of this type of patients will not show obvious changes. Most patients have cysts within 5 cm, and the cysts will disappear on their own. Patients with cysts larger than 5 cm may have a pathological condition and require surgical treatment.

After the physiological cyst is repaired, the cyst fluid will be slowly absorbed. Since the absorption process and duration depend on the patient's physical condition, the patient should undergo a physical examination every 3 months or 6 months.

Chocolate Cyst

Chocolate cysts are more common in people aged 18 to 35. They are called chocolate cysts because the cyst fluid is brown in color.

Most chocolate cyst patients experience periodic pain that accompanies the menstrual cycle, while a few patients experience no significant pain. There is a difference in the age at which the two are discovered. For patients who do not feel pain, since the cyst exists in the body for a long time, it is often discovered during a physical examination or when the lump is very large.

Benign ovarian cysts

Doctors often refer to benign ovarian cysts as cystadenomas, which are benign, but there is also a type of borderline tumor that continues to grow, which is a tumor between benign and cancer.
