Although some ovarian conditions are cancerous, ovarian cysts are very common and usually benign.
They vary in size and type. In many cases, ovarian cysts cause no symptoms, but in some cases you may experience:
- Mild abdominal ache or even sudden worsening of pain
- Feeling of fullness or pressure
- Pain during intercourse
- Irregular periods
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to talk to a doctor to understand the cause.
When it comes to ovarian cancer, there is no standard screening procedure and it can be difficult to find at an early stage. It’s important to talk with your provider about ways to improve your odds of avoiding this cancer or detecting it early.
