Frequent urination, constipation could be ovarian cyst

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac within or on the surface of an ovary. It is mostly benign, meaning it’s non-cancerous and will disappear within a few months. But sometimes the fluid accumulates, making the cyst grow bigger causing complications.

Dr Fredrick Kairithia, an obstetrician/ gynecologist explains that an ovarian cyst is a common condition and may affect women of reproductive age between 15-45 years. There is a peak for women aged between 25 and 35 as it’s the optimum age for hormonal functioning and productive activity, and some ovarian cysts are fuelled by female hormones.
