Patient's question:
Doctor, recently, many friends around me have developed ovarian cysts, and I'm also worried about getting this disease myself. Therefore, I'd like to consult about what symptoms this condition has so that I can detect the illness early.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts often manifest clinically with symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, yellowish vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. Typically, there is a solid, painless mass in the lower abdomen, and intercourse may cause pain. When the cyst affects hormone secretion, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or hirsutism may occur. If the cyst twists, severe symptoms such as severe abdominal pain and bloating, difficulty breathing, decreased appetite, nausea, and fever may develop. 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 is higher, and the risk of malignant ovarian cancer is greater.
