I think I understand the fact that each month, an egg is released, thus causing menstruation; and sometimes, the egg isn’t passed (gets stuck onto the ovary), causing an ovarian cyst. But my question is, can an ovarian cyst turn into/cause ovarian cancer?

uncle pick one asked:


40 year old female is scheduled for a f/up for ruptured ovarian cyst (two weeks ago), in that she’s older than most to have gotten one. Not started menopause. Why would she start bleeding mid cycle. More than spotting or a light period, but less than a normal one.

One of the tests is to rule out ovarian cancer. Is the bleeding of concern?

I have a large ovarian cyst but I’ve been experiencing a lot of gas, swelling and sorness of my stomach and back. I am having indigestion and shortness of breath. Could this be just the cyst?

JEMismyname asked:


I have had 3 ovarian cyst in the last 4 months (2 on the left/ 1 on the right, if it matters). All the docs tell me its normal but I am still freaking out. Does this “phase” stop? Could more cyst led to ovarian cancer? What can I do? I need some answers and a little compassion

I have been diagnosed with PCOS, but I still don’t know all of the details, but when I was looking on google for some information I noticed that the ribbons for pcos awareness are the same color as the ones for ovarian cancer. Are the two linked? Does PCOS lead to ovarian cancer?
