Patient's question:
I usually experience lower back pain and abdominal pain during my period, and the flow is quite heavy each time. 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 tests should be done for an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello,(1) Hormone testing detects ovarian cysts: Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) evolve into hormone 3. It has diagnostic significance. Estrogen levels are often lower than estradiol levels, with high androgen levels and low progesterone levels. Luteinizing hormone and estradiol do not show normal peaks before menopause. In about 30% of patients, prolactin also increases.
(2) Gynecological examination: In about 67% of patients, one or both ovaries can be palpated as ovarian cysts. The recurrence of ovarian cysts severely affects women's health. Patients need to pay attention in daily life and maintain clean external genitalia to prevent sexual activity. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
