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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. If I have an ovarian cyst, what should be the best treatment?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. This means having a thorough examination every 2-3 months, and then adjusting the follow-up interval 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. The recurrence of ovarian cysts poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay attention to personal hygiene. Lastly, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
