Unmarried women can also develop ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can cause significant harm to women's health and may occur at various stages of life, such as puberty, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Therefore, whether married or unmarried, women should seek medical attention promptly if they experience any discomfort, especially lower abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, or uterine bleeding.
