4. Ovarian Cyst Complications
Ovarian cysts are usually benign, and therefore pose no danger of turning cancerous. In fact, for a lot of women, ovarian cysts develop, and then go away without any symptoms. Such cysts are generally small in size. However, in other cases, complications can develop if the cysts are not treated.
Your doctor may find an ovarian mass during routine physical examination. This would provide an opportunity to run tests and offer the necessary treatment, and thus reduce the chances of dangerous complications. Ovarian cyst complications include ovarian torsion, cyst rupture, and ovarian cancer. A ruptured cyst can cause internal bleeding and severe pain.
