Are ovarian cysts serious?

There are many types of cysts, and many people are concerned about cystic diseases. For example, ovarian cyst is a disease that women are very concerned about. Nowadays, women are under great work pressure, so more and more people are suffering from ovarian cysts. However, many people do not know much about ovarian cysts, so they do not know whether this is a disease with great or small harm.

If a woman has an ovarian cyst, it will definitely have an impact on her health. Some people say that ovarian cysts are not a very serious disease, while others say that ovarian cysts can cause great harm to the human body. In fact, whether the disease is serious or not is mainly determined by the development of the disease.

Ovarian cysts refer to ovarian cysts which are divided into two categories: neoplastic and non-neoplastic. When people usually refer to ovarian cysts, they are referring to the non-tumorous type. Experts say there are four dangers of ovarian cysts, such as pedicle torsion, ovarian tumor rupture, infection, and malignant transformation of benign ovarian tumors. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends do not forget their health in their busy life and work, and have regular physical examinations to strive for early detection and early treatment.

First of all, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is a common gynecological acute abdomen. 10% of ovarian tumors are complicated by pedicle torsion. It often occurs in tumors with long pedicles, medium size, good mobility, and center of gravity biased to one side. Once pedicle torsion is confirmed, laparotomy should be performed as soon as possible.

The second most serious ovarian cyst is the possibility of rupture. According to relevant data, about 3% of ovarian tumors rupture, which can be divided into traumatic rupture and spontaneous rupture. If rupture is suspected, laparotomy should be performed immediately.

Secondly, it is rare for ovarian cysts to become infected. This is usually caused by tumor torsion or rupture, or it may spread from infection foci in adjacent organs such as appendix abscess. Clinical manifestations include fever, abdominal pain, lumps and tenderness, abdominal muscle tension and increased white blood cell count.

Finally, benign ovarian tumors can turn into malignant tumors, and malignant tumors are asymptomatic in the early stages and are difficult to detect. If a tumor is found to be growing rapidly, especially bilaterally, malignancy should be suspected.

From the article, we learned that if patients with ovarian cysts do not receive timely treatment, their condition may worsen and become malignant. When ovarian cysts become malignant, they can induce tumors. Tumors are much more harmful than cysts. Therefore, do not neglect your physical health in your busy life. Once ovarian cysts occur, timely measures should be taken to prevent the disease from worsening.
