Ovarian cysts that are roughly 5cm in size may cause stomach discomfort. In addition, if the cyst is of moderate size but the cyst has been in the body for too long, it may also cause stomach discomfort.
Ovarian cysts are sac-like structures that appear inside or on the surface of the ovaries, and are mostly associated with environmental, dietary, infectious, and surgical factors. Under normal circumstances, when the size of the cyst is around 5cm, it may cause the patient to experience discomfort or swelling in the lower abdomen, as well as lumbosacral pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and other uncomfortable symptoms.
In addition, if the patient’s ovarian cyst is smaller than 5cm in size, but has been growing in the body for too long, it may also cause abdominal discomfort.
Therefore, when patients have ovarian cysts, it is recommended that they undergo regular checkups and, if necessary, undergo surgical removal as prescribed by the doctor.
