Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort and itching in my private area, especially in the afternoon, which is really unbearable. Could you please tell me: What are the tests for ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are mostly benign tumors of the ovaries and are the most common gynecological diseases. They can occur at any age in women, with a higher prevalence during the reproductive period. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and does not significantly affect daily life or work, it is advisable to monitor it regularly with ultrasound. If there are any specific discomforts, surgical treatment can be scheduled. Wishing you and your family good health and all the best! For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is strongly recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
