What is the meaning of an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I went for a gynecological examination. The doctor said I have an ovarian cyst. I don't quite understand, what does an ovarian cyst mean?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease in clinical diagnosis, characterized by cystic changes, and are associated with various factors such as familial intergenerational inheritance, individual constitution, endocrine hormone secretion, endocrine disorders, chronic inflammatory stimulation, poor lifestyle habits, and dietary habits. They tend to grow continuously and can easily lead to torsion of the ovarian cyst stalk. Active treatment is essential. Medication is ineffective, and surgical treatment is the only option.
