I believe everyone knows the importance of ovaries to female friends. If there is a problem with the ovaries of female friends, it will not only cause pain to female friends but also affect their fertility. Therefore, we recommend that female friends must pay attention to protecting their ovaries in daily life. Once there is a problem with the ovaries, go to the hospital for consultation in time. Ovarian cysts are a common symptom of the ovaries, so are ovarian cysts malignant or benign?

Ovarian cysts can be benign, borderline, or malignant. Initially, they appear as benign cysts, but some of them later turn into malignant ones. For example, ovarian epithelial tumors can be classified into benign, low malignant potential (also called borderline), and malignant.

Common ovarian cysts are benign. They are characterized by a smooth surface and varying sizes, but can also develop into giant cysts; they can be single or multiple cysts, with each cyst cavity varying in size.

Generally speaking, patients with benign ovarian cysts are in good condition, with slower cyst growth and longer course of disease; the surface of the tumor is smooth, with clear boundaries and is movable; there is no ascites, and the patient feels good about himself.

Patients with malignant ovarian cysts often feel varying degrees of discomfort, and may sometimes have a fever, lose weight quickly, and the tumor grows rapidly. The course of the disease is short, and there may be nodules on the surface of the tumor, which is often accompanied by ascites. If malignant symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. As long as the patient cooperates with the doctor and the necessary examinations are completed, it is not difficult to determine the nature of the ovarian cyst.

Most patients with ovarian cysts have no clinical symptoms and are occasionally discovered during gynecological examinations, gynecological outpatient clinics, and B-ultrasound examinations. Patients are often at a loss when they learn that their ovarian cysts are detected. The most important thing is to distinguish whether the cyst is malignant or benign. If it is not malignant, then the most important thing is to see a doctor for regular check-ups. For the treatment of patients with benign, non-neoplastic ovarian cysts, it is generally believed that if the diameter of the cyst is less than 5 cm and there are no symptoms, no special treatment is required. Some cysts, such as follicular cysts, can disappear naturally. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, shows a tendency to grow during regular observation, or the cyst grows rapidly and increases significantly, the patient should be admitted to the hospital for surgery.
