Patient's question:
Male, 52 years old, has been feeling very tired for a while. After checking into the hospital, he found out he was sick. Question: Is surgical treatment necessary for ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Generally, ovarian cysts smaller than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. Most ovarian cysts are benign tumors, but there is a 5% risk of malignancy. If they are larger than 5 centimeters, surgical removal with biopsy is recommended. Nowadays, there are laparoscopic procedures available, which are minimally invasive and cause less harm. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing to prescribe the correct treatment.
