Patient's question:
I recently noticed a lump in my lower abdomen while taking a bath. It's quite noticeable, but it doesn't hurt when touched. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was an ovarian cyst and that it was benign. He recommended minimally invasive surgery to treat it. How much does minimally invasive surgery for an ovarian cyst cost?Doctor's answer:
Benign ovarian cysts generally have surgical indications when the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, causing lower abdominal or adnexal pain, or leading to changes in menstruation, such as prolonged periods, increasing menstrual flow, or amenorrhea. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery can be performed to remove the cyst, with the cost approximately around 6,000, though the fee may vary slightly depending on the location. For patients, if the ovarian cyst condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the ovarian cyst.
