Patient's question:
Ovarian cyst, quite large. I haven't given birth. I have a cyst in my abdomen in front of the uterus. A few days ago, I had an abortion surgery because the baby wasn't saved.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are different; they are two distinct conditions. An ovarian cyst is essentially a tumor that grows on the ovary, and it is the most common type of ovarian tumor, most of which are benign. The tumor resembles a water sac, with an outer membrane and containing serous or mucous fluid, and it can grow to a significant size. In contrast, PCOS does not involve the growth of a tumor. Instead, the ovaries themselves become enlarged, and numerous small cysts of varying sizes develop on the ovaries.
