Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, discomfort, and an increase in leukorrhea. A friend mentioned this could be a symptom of an ovarian cyst. What tests should be done for an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Ovarian cysts refer to a general term for cystic masses in the ovaries, and their harm to the body as well as the relief from them determine their nature. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, they can still be prevented if early and thorough examination, early detection, and early relief are achieved. It is recommended that you undergo another ultrasound examination to clarify whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. For women over the age of 40, even if there are no discomforts, a physical examination should be performed once a year, including a gynecological examination. The recurrence of ovarian cysts severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to not having sexual intercourse during the relief period and maintaining personal hygiene. We sincerely hope that female patients can receive effective relief.
