Ovarian Cysts: What’s Going on Down There?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form on or inside the ovaries. Most are harmless and part of the normal menstrual cycle, like functional cysts that come and go on their own. Others, like dermoid cysts (filled with hair or teeth!) or endometriomas (linked to endometriosis), can cause symptoms like pelvic pain or bloating. While most cysts are benign, a small percentage can signal something more serious, like ovarian cancer. Regular check-ups and monitoring can keep your ovaries happy and healthy!
