Patient's question:
My friend suddenly felt stomach pain a few days ago. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the pain was caused by a torsion of the ovarian cyst stalk. I want to understand if torsion of the ovarian cyst can cause stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Acute torsion of an ovarian cyst can lead to acute abdominal pain, such as a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and may cause stomach discomfort. This should be referred to as referred pain. After an ovarian cyst, immediate surgery should be performed to prevent the cyst from becoming purulent and causing infection. It is recommended that if you have an ovarian cyst, you should have regular check-ups to monitor the growth rate of the cyst. With an ovarian cyst, avoid excessive physical activity. In daily life, maintain a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
