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. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Ovarian cysts are often diagnosed clinically with symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. Additionally, there is usually a solid, painless lump in the lower abdomen. It is generally a simple cyst and will not interfere with fertility.Advice: Whether an ovarian cyst affects fertility depends on its nature, size, and location. If it is a simple cyst and not too large, it typically does not interfere with fertility and does not require treatment. If the cyst is large or bilateral, it may obstruct the fallopian tubes, potentially affecting conception. In such cases, surgical removal may be considered. However, it should be noted that postoperative adhesions may lead to infertility. Therefore, the potential impact on fertility should be carefully weighed before surgery. Ultimately, after a certain period of careful observation and treatment, the decision to proceed with surgery should be made.
