Introduction
The formation of ovarian teratomas is associated with abnormal differentiation of germ cells, which may develop into tumors within the ovary, leading to ovarian cysts. This condition may also be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, frequent urination, and urgency. It is recommended to seek treatment at a正规 hospital, where surgical interventions such as laparoscopic surgery or open abdominal surgery can be performed under the guidance of a physician.

Generally, ovarian cystic masses refer to ovarian cysts, which may be caused by factors such as corpus luteum cysts, ovarian follicular cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian endometriosis, or ovarian teratomas. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Corpus Luteum Cyst

After ovulation in women, fluid and tissues within the follicle may accumulate and form a cyst known as a corpus luteum cyst. This is usually a normal physiological process and often resolves spontaneously within a few weeks.

2. Ovarian Follicular Cyst

Ovarian follicular cysts typically arise from unruptured follicles that continue to enlarge after the ovulation period. These cysts usually do not cause obvious symptoms and often disappear naturally within several weeks, generally requiring no special treatment.

3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Hormonal imbalances in women may lead to polycystic ovary syndrome. In patients with this condition, some follicles fail to ovulate normally and gradually develop into ovarian cysts. Common symptoms include irregular menstruation and infertility. It is recommended to take medications such as levonorgestrel tablets, drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol tablets, or desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol tablets under a doctor's guidance.

4. Ovarian Endometriosis

When displaced endometrial tissue grows on the ovaries, it can lead to ovarian endometriosis and result in the formation of ovarian cysts. This condition is often accompanied by symptoms such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and pain during intercourse. Treatment may include medications such as aspirin sustained-release tablets, acetaminophen tablets, or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, as directed by a physician.

5. Ovarian Teratoma

Ovarian teratomas are associated with abnormal differentiation of germ cells, which may form tumors within the ovary, leading to ovarian cysts. Symptoms may include abdominal discomfort and frequent urination. It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and undergo surgical treatments such as laparoscopic surgery or open abdominal surgery performed by a physician.

In daily diet, spicy, raw, and cold foods should be avoided to prevent bodily discomfort.
