Patient's question:
I usually experience lower back pain and stomach pain during my period, and the amount of blood flow is quite heavy. Recently, not only do I feel stomach pain, but when I accidentally pressed my abdomen, it felt like there was something there. I went to the hospital for a check-up. Please ask: How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts refer to a general term for cystic masses in the ovaries. The harm they pose to the body and their treatment determine their nature. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence of a tumor, it is usually a functional cyst. Close follow-up is recommended, with examinations every 2-3 months, and the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation afterward. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor, and surgery is usually required for treatment.Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease that can easily occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
