Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually fine, but I always get sick after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and lower abdominal pain. Is this a case of inflammation? Please ask: How is it better to treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is larger than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst, which can be closely monitored, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months. Subsequently, the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. If accompanied by progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, as well as painful nodules in the pelvis, endometriosis (also known as chocolate cysts) should be considered. Treatment can be tailored to specific circumstances. Ovarian cysts are a gynecological condition prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
