Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is an cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts can affect women of all ages, but they are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different natures and shapes, among which cystic types are most prevalent, and the rate of malignant transformation is very high. Early diagnosis is difficult, and the main symptoms include lower abdominal discomfort, increased abdominal circumference with an abdominal mass, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, and compression symptoms.Treatment: If an ovarian cyst is discovered within the first three months of pregnancy, treatment can easily cause miscarriage. If bilateral ovarian cysts are found during pregnancy, touching the uterus during surgery may lead to miscarriage. If an ovarian cyst is discovered after 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is highly likely to cause preterm labor. If an ovarian cyst is found in the late stages of pregnancy, it may obstruct delivery, leading to urinary retention or obstructive dystocia.
If an ovarian cyst twists, ruptures, or is suspected to be malignant, it should be treated as soon as possible at any stage of pregnancy. Otherwise, severe consequences may arise.
