Patient's question:
I found that I have ovarian cysts and accompanied by abdominal pain, no fever, palpitations, and weakness. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. I would like to ask what are the effective methods to treat ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the first thing to consider with an ovarian cyst is its size. Generally, a cyst around 2 centimeters is considered physiological and may disappear after the next menstrual period, requiring no treatment. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, surgery is usually recommended, as it can be treated through minimally invasive procedures.If the ovarian cyst is not particularly large, medication can be used for treatment. Many 4-5 centimeter cysts can be reduced or resolved with medication, which is also closely related to the hormonal levels in the body.
For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
