How much do you know about the dangers of ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female genitalia. They can occur at any age, but are more common in women aged 20 to 50. They are often manifested by lower abdominal pain, discomfort, increased leucorrhea, abnormal menstruation, etc. They are very harmful, mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Cause female infertility

The ovaries are the place where eggs develop, mature and are discharged. If cysts appear in the ovaries, the diseased parts will lose their corresponding functions, and ovulation disorders may occur, leading to infertility. Certain ovarian cysts with endocrine functions can produce corresponding hormones, interfering with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones, and then affecting conception, etc.

2. Canceration

Some cysts, such as serous cysts, contain purulent fluid and may become cancerous, so they should be treated early to prevent this from happening.

3. Cause miscarriage and dystocia

Ovarian tumors can easily cause miscarriage in early pregnancy and pedicle torsion in mid-pregnancy. In late pregnancy, if the ovarian cyst is large, it can lead to abnormal fetal position and block the birth canal during delivery, causing dystocia.

4. Causes premature aging of the face

When cysts occur in the ovaries, they can lead to ovarian endocrine dysfunction, causing abnormal secretion of estrogen, progesterone, etc. Since estrogen is closely related to women's youthful appearance, female patients may experience premature aging of their appearance.

5. Cause edema

Some patients with ovarian cysts may experience complications such as loss of appetite and weight loss, as well as vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and even abdominal and limb edema in the later stages.
