A 31-year-old woman from Thailand thought her weight was due to poor nutrition, but she had been living with a large ovarian cyst for years without knowing it. She began experiencing breathing difficulties and chest tightness, prompting her mother to take her to Satun Hospital.
Doctors discovered a 30-centimeter tumor that was pressing on her internal organs. Emergency surgery was performed on July 31 and after six hours, the 7.7-kilogram tumor was successfully removed. Her weight dropped from 86 kilograms to 75 kilograms and she felt a great sense of relief.
The case raised awareness of the dangers of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that affects many women of childbearing age. PCOS causes ovarian cysts, menstrual irregularities and even infertility. The World Health Organization estimates that between 6 and 13 percent of women have PCOS, with many cases remaining undiagnosed.
