Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on. I haven't had sex with my husband recently, and I usually clean my private parts and underwear. But suddenly, I started experiencing itching in my private area, and my discharge is yellow and abundant. Please ask: How should I treat an ovarian cyst after it's discovered?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts refer to a general term for cystic masses in the ovaries. The harm they pose to the body and their treatment determine their nature. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence of a tumor, it is usually a functional cyst. Close follow-up is recommended, such as a thorough check-up every 2-3 months, and the follow-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation thereafter. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to personal care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and finally remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
