Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what causes ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor and can affect women of all ages, but they are most common in women aged 20-50. Most ovarian cysts are benign, while only a very small number are malignant. Close follow-up is recommended, which involves thorough examinations every 2-3 months, followed by adjustments to the examination interval based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is larger than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. For women with ovarian cysts, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care measures, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
