Patient's question:
How can I treat an ovarian cyst? I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
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 additional treatment. First, you need to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic methods such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examination, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this from happening.
