Does a benign ovarian cyst cause abdominal bloating?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling a bit bloated in my lower abdomen for a while, and my leukorrhea is also a bit abnormal. After a thorough examination, I found out that I have an ovarian cyst, but whether it's benign or malignant is still pending the report. I feel a bit upset and want to know if benign ovarian cysts can cause abdominal pain?

Doctor's answer:

If it has been carefully diagnosed as an ovarian cyst through ultrasound, these are all benign and do not have malignant ovarian cysts. However, there are two types of ovarian cysts: physiological and pathological. Physiological ovarian cysts usually disappear on their own during the next menstrual cycle. If it is a pathological physiological cyst, it will never disappear and generally requires surgical treatment.
