Patient's question:
After each menstrual period ends, for about a week, there are always a few days when it's not clean between my legs. At first, I didn't notice anything, but now the odor is very strong. I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, and the result was that the ovarian cyst has clear boundaries and no echoes. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts may cause abnormal menstrual symptoms again, but having ovarian cysts does not lead to this condition of having a bad odor. If a bad odor reappears, it indicates an inflammatory infection. Ovarian cysts generally do not cause inflammatory infections again. If there is an inflammation, it may lead to lower abdominal pain. If it is confirmed that the ovarian cyst is no larger than 7 centimeters in diameter, surgery is not necessary. You can have a follow-up check every three months to monitor any changes in the cyst. If it grows rapidly within a short period, surgery may be considered for removal.There are several treatment methods for ovarian cysts, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once they notice any symptoms.
