Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, female. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent abdominal pain, and sometimes it's so bad that I can't sleep well. My menstrual cycle has also become irregular. I'm worried that I might have an ovarian cyst. I would like to know what symptoms are associated with ovarian cysts.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a cyst is not smaller than 5 centimeters, it's best to wait and see first. If it is smaller than 5 centimeters, surgical removal is recommended. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain good hygiene habits, and wash daily. Avoid using irritating soaps and perfumed soaps. Wear loose, cotton underwear. When experiencing vaginal itching, try not to scratch to prevent skin and mucous membrane damage. Avoid washing underwear, pants, and socks together. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to ensure targeted treatment and rapid recovery.
