Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel like my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello, consider that a left ovarian cyst is a type of ovarian tumor that can affect all ages, but it is more common in women aged 20-50. Most ovarian cysts are benign tumors, and very few are malignant. It is possible to closely monitor the condition, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months, and then adjust the follow-up interval based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. Ovarian cysts are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. Patients should pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
