Patient's question:
Right ovarian cyst, had surgery last year, and it came back a few days ago. I'm very worried, afraid it might be something bad. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello, an ovarian cyst is a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense, and it can affect people of all ages, but it is most common in women aged 20-50. In clinical diagnosis, ovarian cysts often manifest as lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. Additionally, there is usually a solid, painless mass in the lower abdomen, and pain may recur during sexual intercourse. When the cyst affects hormone secretion, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or excessive body hair growth may occur. If the ovarian cyst twists, it may lead to severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, reduced appetite, nausea, and fever.
