The three major hazards of ovarian cysts should not be underestimated

Ovarian cyst is a common gynecological disease in women. This disease seriously threatens women's health, so it is necessary to do a good job of prevention and treatment in daily life. So what are the specific hazards of ovarian cyst?

What is an ovarian cyst

Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system. They are difficult to diagnose in the early stages, with 70% of cases being in the advanced stages when seeking medical treatment. Ovarian cysts are one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women’s lives. Ovarian cysts are mostly caused by endocrine disorders. Early menarche, menopause after the age of 50, frequent menstruation, use of ovulation-stimulating agents for more than 3 cycles, precocious puberty or virilization are also related to the causes of ovarian cysts.

The dangers of ovarian cysts

1. Cause infertility and affect fertility

Once the ovarian cyst becomes larger or degenerates, it is possible that the sperm, eggs or fertilized eggs cannot function normally, thus affecting fertility and leading to infertility.

2. Cause edema and affect life

In addition to loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal distension, patients with ovarian cysts may also experience vomiting, fever and severe abdominal pain; in the later stages, it may even lead to edema of the abdomen and limbs.

3. Canceration occurs, threatening life

Enlarged ovarian cysts are very likely to become infected, twisted, bleed or burst, posing a life-threatening threat to the patient. Some tumorous cysts may even become cancerous.
