A member asked:
Is it true that an ovarian tumor have the same effects as an ovarian cyst might?

Possibly: An ovarian tumor is solid and will continue to grow. However an ovarian cyst is from an egg cell that did not rupture. You may have pain, irregular bleeding or other symptoms with both, so you should see your gynecologist this week to rule it out.

Not really: Benign cysts are common but they are harmless as they typically do not grow in size. If the cyst had a tumor inside it, then it will grow and the effects are much more grave than those from a cyst. So any growth in the size of a cyst is an indication that it should be further investigated and removed if ther eis suspicion that it might contain cancer inside it.
