Patient's question:
I am 55 years old this year, and I am currently experiencing vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Please ask: What are the effective treatments for ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Women of childbearing age are most likely to experience recurrent ovarian cysts in the form of functional cysts, which are caused by excessive physiological responses triggered by the ovary itself or medication. Patients generally feel no symptoms or discomfort, though a few may experience menstrual irregularities, often discovered incidentally during medical examinations for other reasons. The diameter of functional cysts is usually less than 5 centimeters and can naturally disappear, requiring no treatment in most cases. Benign cysts can be resolved with medication, while malignant ones may require surgical treatment, often combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, based on your condition, you have a benign cyst, so surgical treatment is not necessary.
