Doctor's answer:

What are the hazards of ovarian cysts? Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense, and they can affect people of all ages, but are 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. Moreover, there is usually a solid and painless mass in the lower abdomen, and sometimes pain may occur during masturbation. When the cyst affects hormone secretion, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or excessive body hair growth may reappear. If the of the ovarian cyst twists again, I wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
