Ovarian cyst is a formation in the tissues of the appendages. It’s a pathology and it looks like a camera filled with liquid secretion. If you are experiencing pain in the ovary, then you shouldn’t engage in self-diagnosis. You urgently need to contact your doctor.

Why ovarian cyst is dangerous?
Many women rarely worry about their disease in the early stages due to the absence of symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, the cyst increases due to volumes of fluid secretion. For this reason, there are many violations of the reproductive system of the female body. The main danger is the development of complications, which requires urgent intervention by doctors.
Complications may occur due to the rapid proliferation of cysts. It begins to put pressure on the adjacent internal organs, interfering with their full-fledged work. There is a risk of rupture of the cyst capsule. This can lead to liquid secretion in the abdominal cavity, which leads to the development of peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum). Also, an ovarian cyst may be mobile due to the stem on the basis of the formation. There is a risk that it may twist and begin to decompose. During this process, the woman feels a sharp pain in her right groin.
