Patient's question:
Female, 30, found an ovarian cyst during a physical examination at work. I don't feel anything unusual. How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts can affect pregnancy. Ovarian cysts are divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological cysts do not require treatment, while pathological cysts may need minimally invasive surgery for complete healing, as the effectiveness of medication is not ideal. Follow-up ultrasound should be conducted 3-7 days after menstruation to determine if it is a physiological cyst. Avoid pressing the abdomen lightly and refrain from strenuous exercise in the near future. If severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs again, it should be confirmed as a pathological cyst rupture and bleeding, requiring immediate follow-up.
