What are some symptoms of ovarian cysts?
Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid that develop on the ovaries. They are common in women of all ages, but they are most common in women between the ages of 20 and 40.
Most ovarian cysts are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. However, some ovarian cysts can be cancerous, so it is important to see a doctor if you have any of the following symptoms:
* Pelvic pain
* Bloating
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Difficulty urinating
* Constipation
* Diarrhea
* Weight gain
* Fatigue
* Fever
If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to rule out ovarian cancer. Your doctor may order a pelvic exam, an ultrasound, or other tests to diagnose ovarian cysts.
Treatment for ovarian cysts depends on the size, type, and location of the cyst. Most ovarian cysts do not require treatment, but some may need to be surgically removed.
Ovarian cysts can be a serious health condition, but they are often treatable. If you have any of the symptoms of ovarian cysts, it is important to see a doctor right away.
