Patient's question:
Recently, my stomach suddenly felt larger, and it was accompanied by abdominal pain. My menstrual cycle has also been irregular. What is the best treatment method for ovarian cysts?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 often a functional cyst, which can be closely monitored, meaning a check-up every 2-3 months, and then the check-up interval can be adjusted based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is usually required. In addition to the standard treatment for ovarian cysts, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities.
