Can women with ovarian cysts swim?

Patient's question:

Because of menstrual cramps, three months ago I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I had an ovarian cyst. I have been receiving treatment recently. These past few days, my friend invited me to go ice skating at the beach, but I am worried that it might interfere with my condition. I came here to seek advice from the doctors: can someone with an ovarian cyst go ice skating?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an ovarian cyst is a benign tumor. If it is not too large, you can go ice skating. If the diameter of the ovarian cyst is less than 5 centimeters, it is best not to go ice skating. Ice skating is a relatively intense activity, and during this process, it may cause pedicle inversion, which can lead to severe abdominal pain. During treatment, pay attention to rest. Smaller ovarian cysts may be resolved by the body.
