Patient's question:
I always feel a strange pain in my lower abdomen, and my menstrual cycle has always been irregular. I also often have a lot of leukorrhea discharge, and most of the time, the leukorrhea has a foul odor. Please ask: How is it better to treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst. It can be closely monitored, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months, and then the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is often an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment.If it is accompanied by progressive relief of dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, as well as painful nodules in the pelvis, endometriosis (also known as chocolate cysts) should be considered. Treatment can be tailored based on specific circumstances.
Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition. During treatment, women need to pay attention to self-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!
