Is it normal for adolescents to have ovarian cysts?

Patient's question:

Zhang's niece said her abdomen has two lumps, which are exactly located where the ovaries should be. Is it normal for adolescents to have such ovarian masses in this situation? I asked her, and she said she doesn't feel any discomfort, feeling quite normal. But I vaguely remember that I never had this situation before.

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian masses are relatively common in clinical diagnosis. First, it is necessary to clarify their specific nature. If the ovarian cyst is benign, it is primarily related to hormonal secretion in the body, which can be physiological or pathological. If it is malignant, it requires serious attention, and timely and standardized treatment is key. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Professional doctors will provide appropriate treatment advice based on relevant test results.
