Oncologist Anton Ilyin said that ovarian cysts develop in women who have had an abortion
The doctor lists factors that increase a woman’s chances of getting a common disease.
Ovarian cysts are often discovered during a routine examination, although they may not cause any symptoms, he says.
However, despite its benign nature, the oncologist noted that this type of tumor should be taken seriously because it can cause serious problems in some cases.
Ilyin noted that various types of ovarian tumors are common, both benign and malignant.
Companion Tapes.ru explained that small cysts usually do not cause problems in women, but when the growth reaches a large size, it can rupture or become infected. It can also twist the leg and affect nearby organs, squeezing them with its mass.
This can lead to menstrual irregularities, pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
The most common way to diagnose cysts on the ovaries is an ultrasound of the pelvic organs, which is performed on the 5-9th day of the menstrual cycle.
In addition to ultrasound, cyst cancer is detected using a blood test, which measures indicators of malignancy. The gynecologist uses an algorithm based on nine parameters to calculate the likelihood of a malignant tumor and decide on a course of treatment.
Some cysts can be treated without surgery, others only with surgery. The type of treatment depends on the size and structure of the cyst, and whether there is blood flow to it.
Ilyin noted that most ovarian neoplasms can be treated without surgery. Medication or observation may be enough, and the sooner a doctor finds a cyst, the less likely it is that surgery will be needed.
