OVARIUM CYSTES
OVARIUM CYSTES are fluid-filled pouches that arise on the ovaries. These cysts generally appear during a woman's fertile or menstrual period.
Every woman has two ovaries, one each on the right and left side of the uterus. These walnut-sized organs are part of the female reproductive system.
The ovaries have the main function of producing eggs every month (starting from puberty until entering menopause), and producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is possible for ovarian function to be impaired, one of the most common being a cyst.
OVARIAN CYST SYMPTOMS
When the cyst is still small, there are usually no symptoms. Once the size of the cyst starts to increase, new symptoms will be felt.
