Patient's question:
I usually experience lower back pain and abdominal pain during my menstrual period, and the amount of blood flow is quite heavy. Recently, not only do I feel abdominal 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: what should I do if I have an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst is a benign tumor of the ovary and is a relatively common gynecological condition. The lump is usually small. If a non-neoplastic ovarian cyst is suspected, short-term close observation can be done, or oral contraceptives and traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. For more severe symptoms, surgery is recommended. The purpose of surgery for an ovarian cyst is to remove malignant recurrence. The surgery can be performed through an open procedure or laparoscopy. For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to standard treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
