Ovarian cysts mainly present as lower abdominal discomfort, with localized pain or a sensation of pressure upon palpation. Some patients may experience bilateral abdominal pain, which becomes more pronounced after prolonged standing or physical labor. Most ovarian cysts do not affect menstruation; however, when malignant ovarian tumors metastasize to the endometrium, they can cause endocrine disorders, leading to symptoms such as excessive bleeding or irregular bleeding.
