Patient's question:
What are the high-risk groups for ovarian tumors? Knowing this disease is serious, so who should pay special attention?Doctor's answer:
Women of childbearing age are most likely to develop functional ovarian cysts, which are caused by an excessive physiological response due to stimulation of the ovaries themselves or by medication. Patients generally experience no symptoms or discomfort, although a few may have menstrual irregularities. These cysts are often discovered incidentally during medical examinations for other reasons. Functional ovarian cysts are usually less than 5 cm in diameter and can naturally resolve, generally requiring no treatment.
