Patient's question:
I don't have much knowledge about ovarian cysts. A friend of mine has developed an ovarian cyst, and I want to ask what kind of impact it will have on the body.Doctor's answer:
The hazards of ovarian cysts are as follows:1. When a cyst compresses the bladder, patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty urinating, lower abdominal or back pain, which can disrupt a woman's normal work and daily life.
2. Ovarian cysts may lead to complications, infection, torsion, bleeding, or rupture, endangering a woman's life.
3. Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature ovarian aging, malignancy, and may even lead to ovarian cancer.
4. Ovarian cysts can affect fertility, and even if pregnancy occurs, they may have adverse effects on the pregnancy. Ovarian cysts during early pregnancy may cause miscarriage, while torsion of the cyst stalk is more likely to occur during mid-pregnancy. In late pregnancy, larger cysts may lead to abnormal fetal positioning, and during delivery, they may obstruct the birth canal, causing difficult labor.
