What is an ovarian cyst?

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled swellings that often appear in the ovaries or ovaries. Usually, these cysts appear during the fertile or menstrual period in women. Every woman has two ovaries, one on the right side and one on the left side of the uterus. This small organ, about the size of a walnut, is an important part of the female reproductive system.
The ovaries are primarily responsible for producing egg cells every month, from puberty to menopause, as well as producing hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. However, ovarian function can be disrupted, and one common disorder is the formation of cysts. So we need to pay attention to our health and pay attention to whether the menstrual cycle is normal or not, so that we don't get ovarian cysts.
Usually, ovarian cysts can be seen if the person experiencing them is scanned using a pelvic ultrasound. Apart from ultrasound, the doctor will also advise people who have cysts to check for pregnancy, to ensure that the cyst is not a problem if they are pregnant. However, if it turns out that the sufferer is indeed pregnant, it is possible that the cyst discovered is a corpus luteum type and Kiky Saputri could have this type of cyst.

When the cyst is still small, generally the sufferer will not experience any symptoms. However, when the cyst begins to enlarge, only then do symptoms begin to be felt. This happens because cysts can block blood flow to the ovaries. Symptoms that usually appear due to ovarian cysts include:
1. Feeling pain or soreness.
Generally, the sensation of pain or tenderness will be felt in the lower abdominal area. The intensity can vary, from mild to severe. Apart from that, pain can also be episodic, sometimes disappearing and reappearing, and can be felt on both the right and left sides. Discomfort can also occur during intimate relations, so you need to be alert if you experience symptoms like this.
2. Experiencing menstrual changes.
During menstruation, individuals suffering from ovarian cysts may experience more or less bleeding than usual. Apart from that, the menstrual cycle can also become irregular. In some cases, menstruation may be heavier or lighter than before. So try to pay attention to your menstrual cycle regularly so you can be more alert.
3. Experiencing digestive problems.
People who have ovarian cysts often feel very full even if they only eat a little and experience flatulence. Apart from that, they may also experience other digestive disorders, such as difficulty defecating and frequent urination. Apart from that, usually flatulence due to ovarian cysts can also cause nausea and vomiting.
Causes of ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are a common condition, especially in women before they go through menopause. The most common type is a functional cyst. Additionally, most ovarian cysts are harmless and will often disappear without special treatment. Although there are types of cysts that have a higher risk of becoming cancerous or causing complications, such cases are rare.
Cysts can appear due to various factors, but most occur due to disturbances in the menstrual cycle. One type of cyst caused by changes in the menstrual cycle is a functional cyst and the following are the causes of ovarian cysts:
- Abnormal cell reproduction, such as atypical cell reproduction which can cause cysts, namely dermoid and denoma cysts. This requires special attention, at least you can do regular medical checkups to find out whether the cells in your body are reproducing normally or not.
- Endometriosis or disease of the female reproductive system. This condition, also known as a chocolate cyst, causes tissue from the inner lining of the uterine wall to grow outside the uterine cavity. The cause could also be because endometriosis is in an advanced stage and is not treated seriously.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease, this severe pelvic infection can spread to the ovaries causing lumps to appear. So if this disease is simply ignored, it will cause even more severe symptoms and of course cause ovarian cysts to appear more easily.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or a disease when the ovum or egg cells in women do not develop normally due to hormonal imbalance. This condition usually causes egg cells to not develop properly and fail to be released regularly. That's why PCOS often makes it difficult for women to get pregnant.
