What is an ovarian cyst? I'm sure everyone has heard of ovarian cysts. However, we have never known how to understand the position of our own body since childhood, so there are not many people who really know what ovarian cysts are. The uterus and ovaries in a woman's body are responsible for not only producing egg cells, but also metabolizing female hormones. After the egg cells mature in the ovaries, they are released through the fallopian tubes during ovulation. If the egg cell in the follicle is not discharged on time during ovulation, the follicle will produce ovarian cysts. This type of fluid-filled cystic granular mass in the uterus and ovaries can be as big as a sesame seed or as big as a melon. When it grows to a certain size, it will cause significant pain and lower abdominal discomfort.
