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: If I have an ovarian cyst, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts often manifest as lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. In cases where the condition is not severe, oral contraceptives or traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. For more serious cases, surgical treatment should be considered. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, and cinnamon; avoid greasy, fried, moldy, or pickled foods; and avoid warm-blooded, blood-activating foods such as mutton, dog meat, chives, and pepper. For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
