Do ovarian cysts hurt?
Some ovarian cysts do not have painful symptoms, while others may cause abdominal pain, thus there are individual differences. This varies depending on the size of the ovarian cyst and whether it is accompanied by any infections. If an ovarian cyst is combined with torsion, the affected ovary might suffer from ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in acute abdominal pain. This situation is quite dangerous and requires emergency surgery. However, if the ovarian cyst does not undergo torsion, most are asymptomatic and are often incidentally found during physical examinations or routine ultrasound scans. If cysts are discovered without any significant symptoms, special treatment is generally not necessary initially; a follow-up check after three months is recommended, as many cysts may disappear naturally, which is a normal occurrence.
