What are the dangers of ovarian cysts to women?

Menstruation is caused by the egg cells produced in the female body not combining with sperm and being expelled from the body. If you haven't had your period for a long time, you may be pregnant. The organ that bears this important responsibility is the female ovary. However, this important organ that nurtures new life is easily troubled by various diseases, such as ovarian cysts. Today I will talk to you about the harm of ovarian cysts to women.

An ovarian cyst is a lump inside or on the surface of a woman's ovary. Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders and poor mental health in women. Ovarian cysts start out small, about the size of a pea or cashew nut, and as they grow, they can become as large as a softball or even larger. This is one of the harmful manifestations of ovarian cysts.

Some middle-aged patients with ovarian cysts often do not have any discomfort at the beginning. If asked carefully, most patients will say: I have recently found that my waist circumference has increased, and I can’t wear the pants I used to wear. Middle-aged and elderly women think they are "gaining weight". In fact, this is the early symptom of malignant transformation of ovarian cysts; and adolescent girls, if they do strenuous exercise, suddenly have severe abdominal pain like needles, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and bleeding in severe cases. It may be that the ovarian cyst is too large or grows too fast, causing pedicle torsion or cyst rupture. The harm of ovarian cysts may be life-threatening.

Because the ovaries are deep in the pelvic cavity, in the early stages of ovarian cysts, no lumps can be felt by touching the abdomen. As the ovarian cysts gradually grow larger, the waist circumference may increase, or there may be a slight feeling of abdominal distension. The harm of malignant ovarian cysts can cause them to grow rapidly. Once obvious symptoms appear, the lesions are often late-stage ovarian cysts.

There is no need to worry too much about general cysts, but because cysts may become diseased and turn into malignant diseases, it is recommended that you still have regular check-ups after discovery. In addition, you should pay attention to your lifestyle habits, avoid eating too greasy and spicy food, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Regular exercise is also necessary.
