Patient's question:
My sister got an ovarian cyst last year, but she didn't receive treatment at the time. Now the cyst has grown, and she's worried about it rupturing. How can ovarian cysts be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. You should first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you undergo another ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic techniques such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage.
