Patient's question:
I had an issue with it last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled it through internal use and oral administration. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my leukorrhea is also abnormal with a very strong odor. Please ask: How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts can be physiological (meaning they are normal fluctuations in the menstrual cycle that can naturally disappear) or pathological (formed due to disease). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. For women of childbearing age, after discovering an ovarian cyst, the next course of action depends on the nature of the cyst. Ultrasound results are very helpful for diagnosis. If MRI indicates that the cyst is anechoic (without echoes) and non-segmented, it is advisable to wait and see for 3 months. After 3 months, a repeat MRI should be performed. If the cyst still exists, surgery should be considered for resolution. For other types of cysts, in most cases, they are pathological and surgery is necessary for definitive diagnosis.
