Are ovarian cysts harmful?

I often hear some sisters talking about their diseases. I found that most of them have gynecological diseases, and many women of childbearing age suffer from ovarian cysts. Some people will undergo surgery to treat cysts, while others have cysts but have no measures to treat them. So, is there any harm to the human body after suffering from ovarian cysts? If so, what are the harms?

1. Causes lower abdominal pain

The cyst itself has a certain weight. With the movement of the body and intestinal peristalsis, the cyst will move in the pelvic cavity, while involving the pelvic funnel ligament and cyst pedicle, so the patient feels a sense of sinking, distension and pain in the lower abdomen.

2. Causes body edema

The patient will lose his appetite and lose weight, and may also experience vomiting, fever and severe abdominal pain. In severe cases, it can cause edema in the limbs and abdomen.

3. Premature aging of women

Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders and premature aging of the face in mild cases, or develop into serious diseases such as ovarian cancer in severe cases.

4. Affect fertility

Ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, and interruption of pregnancy may easily cause torsion of the ovarian cyst pedicle. In the late pregnancy, if the cyst pedicle torsions to a large extent, it may cause abnormal fetal position, which may block the birth canal during delivery and cause dystocia.

5. Cause infertility

Patients with ovarian cysts may experience increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, and menstrual disorders in the early stages. When the cyst develops to the middle and late stages, if not treated in time, it will lead to infertility.

6. Develop into cancer

As the ovarian cyst grows, it can easily become infected with bacteria, twist, bleed, or even burst, seriously threatening the patient's life. What's worse, it may develop into cancer, which is very harmful.

If you find that you have ovarian cysts, you should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, because this disease will not only cause women to age prematurely, cause lower abdominal pain, and affect fertility, but may also develop into cancer. If the cyst is small, it can be treated with medication. If the cyst is large, it can be treated with surgical removal.
