Ovarian cysts are not cancerous and most ovarian cysts disappear on their own, while severe cases require active treatment.
Ovarian cysts are cystic structures within or on the surface of a woman’s ovaries and do not belong to the category of cancer. Clinically, ovarian cysts are categorized into functional cysts and non-functional ovarian cysts, which may be related to improper diet, changes in hormone levels in the body, infections and other factors. Generally, patients with functional cysts have no obvious symptoms and can disappear on their own, without affecting their health.
For some patients with non-functional ovarian cysts, abdominal distension, lumbosacral pain and other symptoms may occur due to the increase in the size of the ovarian cysts, thus affecting the quality of life. For patients with large ovarian cysts that are accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms, they can seek medical treatment through surgical procedures such as ovarian cyst removal or ovariectomy of the affected side to prevent complications such as rupture of the ovary and torsion of the tip.
Patients with ovarian cysts are advised to cooperate with their doctors to take treatment measures according to their conditions. As ovarian cysts are also susceptible to malignant changes, patients should undergo regular checkups to monitor their condition.
