Can ovarian cysts be felt?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can an ovarian cyst be felt?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your question. Ovarian cysts are a common condition in women. Usually, ovarian cysts do not show obvious clinical symptoms unless the cyst is particularly large and causes a pedicle inversion, leading to abdominal pain. In such cases, clinical symptoms may appear. Generally, an MRI can clearly diagnose the condition, and the diagnosis is relatively easy. For small ovarian cysts, active treatment is not recommended, and dynamic observation is sufficient. Therefore, in most cases, they cannot be felt on the abdominal wall.
