Patient's question:
Female, 54 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How should ovarian cysts be treated effectively and reliably?Doctor's answer:
Considering the potential interference with fertility, the treatment principles for ovarian cysts are surgical treatment and close follow-up observation. For young, infertile patients with small tumors, whether bilateral or unilateral, ovarian cyst enucleation should be performed as much as possible. For larger tumors, efforts should be made to preserve a small portion of ovarian cortex to retain the patient's fertility. Preventive measures should be implemented annually through population surveys and general treatment, enhancing health care for ovarian cysts. The recurrence of ovarian cysts severely affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment and maintaining good personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
