Patient's question:
I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is a corpus luteum cyst in the left adnexal area the same as an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts often manifest clinically with lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities. Typically, there is a solid, painless mass in the lower abdomen, and sometimes pain during intercourse may occur. When cysts affect hormone secretion, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or hirsutism may appear. If the cyst twists, severe symptoms such as severe abdominal pain and bloating, difficulty breathing, decreased appetite, nausea, and fever may occur. Larger cysts can compress nearby bladder tissue, causing frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Particularly when these symptoms are severe, bleeding is frequent, and they occur simultaneously, the likelihood of a woman having an ovarian cyst increases, and the risk of malignant ovarian cancer becomes greater.
