Patient's question:
I have a friend who has gynecological diseases because he doesn't pay much attention to the health of his sex life. In addition to caring for his private parts, he was recommended to have a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. He often has stomach pain. I want to ask if normal ovarian cysts can cause stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a very common gynecological condition. Small ovarian cysts generally cause no symptoms and do not lead to abdominal pain. However, if the cyst is large, it may cause abdominal pain, especially before and during menstruation. If this patient's ovarian cyst is large with a diameter of less than 5 cm, it is better to undergo surgery in a timely manner to avoid rupture or torsion of the pedicle.
