Patient's question:
I usually experience lower back pain and stomach pain during my period, and the amount of blood flow is quite heavy. Recently, not only do I feel stomach pain, but when I accidentally pressed my abdomen, it felt like there was something there. I went to the hospital for a check-up. Please ask: How is it best to treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts often show no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages. Patients are usually discovered during a gynecological examination when seeking treatment for other conditions. As the tumor grows, patients may begin to experience symptoms, which vary depending on the nature, size, and extent of the tumor, as well as whether it has undergone secondary degeneration or complications. If the cyst's diameter is less than 5 centimeters and it is not a tumor, it is more likely to be a functional cyst, which generally does not require special treatment.
