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 a type of ovarian tumor and can affect women of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. They are mostly benign tumors, with only a very small number being malignant. Close follow-up is recommended, which involves thorough examinations every 2-3 months, followed by adjustments to the examination interval based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is larger than 5 centimeters, it is often an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment. There are many treatment methods for ovarian cysts, but since symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment method will differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
