Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are divided into physiological and pathological types. The physiological ones can naturally disappear with the fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. Pathological cysts can affect fertility. Since pathological cysts often evolve from diseases, surgery may be required to confirm the diagnosis and provide additional treatment. When a cyst is present, it is important to conduct a thorough examination to determine whether it is physiological or pathological before taking any action. If MRI indicates that the cyst is anechoic (without echoes) and non-segmented, it is advisable to wait and see for 3 months. After 3 months, a repeat MRI should be performed for a careful examination. If the cyst still exists, surgery should be considered for resolution. For other types of cysts, in most cases, they are pathological and surgery is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
