Patient's question:
Last year, I had an issue, and after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both topical and oral treatments quickly controlled it. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. Please ask: How is it best to treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts should be surgically treated as soon as they are diagnosed. If the size is less than 5 cm, surgery is necessary, otherwise, there is always the possibility of re-rupture or pedicle inversion, which could be life-threatening. Whether ovarian cysts affect childbirth mainly depends on the size of the cyst. If the volume is small and the cyst is tiny, it has little impact on menopausal function, and thus naturally does not affect a woman's ability to conceive. Ovarian cysts have some effects, with the most severe being the impact on female fertility. A small portion, for example, if the cyst is very large and occupies most of the ovarian space, with thin ovarian cortex, it can affect the menopausal function and growth and development of the ovary, which can affect pregnancy.
