Patient's question:
Recently, it was found that I have an ovarian cyst. They also mentioned benign and malignant, what are the differences between them? How should ovarian cysts be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Surgical treatment for benign ovarian cysts - Ovarian cystectomy, which is often chosen for young patients, especially premenopausal women, with the aim of preserving as much normal ovarian tissue as possible. - Salpingo-oophorectomy, which is more commonly performed on older patients or postmenopausal women, involving the removal of one or both fallopian tubes and ovaries. During the procedure, it is important to monitor for rapid changes in intra-abdominal pressure that may cause changes in the patient's pulse, breathing, and blood pressure. If necessary, intravenous fluids should be increased or surgical intervention taken. Special attention should also be paid to preventing early detection of acute gastric dilatation, paralytic ileus, and the resulting electrolyte and endocrine imbalances.
