Comedian and YouTuber Lilly Singh revealed that cysts have been detected in both her ovaries. Sharing a video on Instagram from the hospital, in which she is seen lying on the bed wearing a facemask, she wrote, “Last day spent in ER because I have audacity to get out my ovaries. Both have cysts. And I’m really like B in here?!” She said, “No, but really. It hurts and I’m tired, but I really expect my limbs to do the most. After all, I am his mother.”
Unfortunately, around 7 percent of women worldwide have an ovarian cyst at some point in their lives. Surprisingly, in Europe, a large screening trial showed a 21.2 percent incidence of ovarian cysts in healthy postmenopausal women. And in the United States, that data is 18 percent.
Wondering what an ovarian cyst is?
It is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary or ovary, which is a part of the female reproductive system, and produces eggs and hormones. Most often, this cyst occurs during the reproductive years but can appear at any age.
I’m wondering why bother? This is an important piece of information because most ovarian cysts are non-cancerous, that is, benign, but some are cancerous or malignant, or may become cancerous over time. And ovarian cancer ranks fifth among cancer deaths in women, resulting in more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. Not only this, the chance of a woman getting ovarian cancer in her lifetime is around 1 in 78.
