Is the right ovarian cyst serious? What are the dangers?

If the right ovarian cyst causes persistent pain, is large in size, or is accompanied by other obvious discomfort, you should actively seek medical attention to determine whether further treatment is needed.

Ovarian cysts are common gynecological problems, usually small fluid-filled sacs that appear in the ovaries. Most of these cases are benign, especially functional cysts, which are often related to the menstrual cycle and can disappear on their own over time. However, if the cysts increase significantly in size or have special pathological properties, they may cause some health risks.

Right ovarian cysts may cause dull pain and pressure in the right lower abdomen, and even discomfort in the waist and back. Large cysts can increase the risk of ovarian torsion, causing severe pain or affecting the blood supply to the ovary; if the cyst ruptures, it may also cause acute abdominal pain and abdominal bleeding. Some pathological cysts may also be related to malignant lesions, so special vigilance is required.

Regular gynecological examinations can help detect early signs of ovarian cysts. If the cyst is small and does not cause symptoms, you can observe it first, and help your body recover with a healthy diet and regular work and rest. If the cyst is large, painful, or there is a risk of malignancy, you should seek medical treatment in time and choose medication or surgery according to the doctor's advice.
