What is ovarian cyst and how does it affect woman?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on a woman’s ovaries. They are common and often harmless, but can sometimes cause pain, bloating, or complications like rupture or torsion. In India, ovarian cysts affect a significant number of women, although precise statistics may vary. They can impact menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall reproductive health. While many cysts resolve on their own, others may require medical intervention. Regular gynecological check-ups are essential for early detection and appropriate management, ensuring the well-being of affected women across India.
