Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods and had never experienced pain again. But for the past two months, my cycle has been irregular and the flow has been very heavy. Today, my colleague accompanied me for a thorough check-up, and we found that I have an ovarian cyst.Hello doctor, how is an ovarian cyst caused? And how should it be treated effectively?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of ovarian cysts include several factors, such as endometriosis, dermoid cysts, or functional cysts, and they can also be malignant. There are also serous cysts and mucinous cysts of the ovary. As for whether your cyst needs treatment, it depends on its specific size. If the size is small, it is unlikely to affect your menstrual cycle, but regular follow-up examinations are still necessary. The recurrence of ovarian cysts significantly impacts women's health, and patients should pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
