Patient's question:
Which method is better for treating ovarian cysts? 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:
Functional ovarian cysts are usually less than 5 centimeters in size. When the tumor is not very prominent during follow-up, we only need to closely monitor the condition. It is recommended to have a thorough examination every 2-3 months, and the examination schedule can be adjusted according to changes in the patient's condition. Patients should absolutely not take the situation lightly and must remain vigilant to prevent the condition from becoming malignant.If the tumor diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is generally considered an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is usually required. If the patient also experiences dysmenorrhea, pain and skin breakdown during masturbation, or if there are nodules in the pelvic area, it may be endometriosis, also known as chocolate cysts.
If an ovarian cyst is detected, it is important to determine as early as possible whether it is a tumorous or non-tumorous condition.
