Ovarian cysts 7cm are generally not serious if they are physiological and can be closely observed without obvious discomfort; if they are pathologic cysts, they are relatively serious and the benign or malignant nature of the cysts needs to be clarified first, and the cysts 7cm may lead to a variety of discomforts as well as rupture or torsion of the cysts.
Ovarian cysts can be categorized into physiological cysts and pathological cysts. Physiological cysts can disappear on their own with the menstrual cycle, but pathological cysts need to be treated with medication or surgery.
In case of pathological cysts, it is necessary to determine the benign or malignant nature of the cysts. Generally speaking, ovarian cysts smaller than 3 cm are small and can be left untreated or given medication if malignant lesions are ruled out, but cysts with a volume of 7 cm are large and relatively serious, and should be treated.
A 7cm ovarian cyst may cause pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urination and urgency when the cyst presses on the bladder, constipation and difficulty in defecation when it presses on the colon, and infertility when the cyst completely blocks the fallopian tube. In addition, if a 7-centimeter ovarian cyst ruptures or torsion occurs, it can lead to life-threatening acute abdomen.
