Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually okay, but I get sick every time after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and a heavy, lower abdominal pain. Is this a case of inflammation? Also, how should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is likely an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of reproductive age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they naturally disappear with the fluctuation of the normal menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and further treatment. It is important to first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. Before undergoing a follow-up ultrasound examination, advanced diagnostic methods such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray imaging, and laparoscopy can help early detection of ovarian cyst inflammation. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this.
