Ovariancysts
Hello Doctors,
Greetings. I don't know how to share this. Many of my friends in this lockdown have been diagnosed with cysts.. I don't understand how they are affecting so many women in their child bearing age. Many of my friends are in their 30s ,unmarried and virgins. Many have functional cysts and few have dermoids.. I am getting scared.. Can you pls explain why cysts are occurring. Any info would be highly appreciated.
Thnx and appreciate your help

Functional cyst of ovary is not a disease
The name itself says functional that means a part of its function as a egg releasing organ of body
Functional cyst include follicular cysts and corpus luteal cyst they will disappear after 4 -6 months on their own
Next Steps
Having said that it it also true that malignant and benign tumours of the ovary also present as cysts
Health Tips
So one must carefully look at the size and vascularise of the cyst and see for any tumour markers in serum. Functional cyst is a happy diagnosis. So don’t worry about it
Dermoids are less frequent though they sometimes become cancerous and undergo torsion. We do laparoscopic removal for dermoids.Dermoids are a birth defect and not related to environmental or lifestyle factors
