Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me the specific harms of ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
1. Leading to premature aging of women's appearance, ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature aging, malignant transformation, and even lead to ovarian cancer.2. Causing miscarriage and difficult labor, ovarian cysts during early pregnancy may lead to miscarriage. In the second trimester, they are prone to repeated torsion of the cyst stalk. In the late stages, larger cysts can cause abnormal fetal position, potentially blocking the birth canal during labor, resulting in difficult labor.
3. Causing edema and affecting daily life, patients with ovarian cysts may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, weight loss, and abdominal swelling, as well as nausea, fever, and severe abdominal pain. In later stages, they may even lead to edema in the abdomen and limbs.
4. The threat of life-threatening malignancy, ovarian cysts can easily recur infections, complete torsion, rupture, or explosion, posing a life-threatening risk to patients. Some tumor-like cysts may even undergo malignant transformation.
