Patient's question:
I had a thorough examination in the hospital last week and was told I have an ovarian cyst. The doctor recommended a surgery. I would like to ask how is the surgery for ovarian cysts performed?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the diameter of a cyst is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst and can be treated with medication. Follow-up examinations should be conducted every 2-3 months, and the examination interval can be adjusted based on the situation thereafter.Surgical treatment for ovarian cysts can also be decided. It can be a conventional open surgery or a laparoscopic procedure. The decision also includes preserving the ovary while removing the cyst, or removing the entire ovary. All of these options depend on your condition, and the doctor will discuss and consider the surgical plan with you.
The surgical process is relatively complex, but as long as early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are achieved, it can be prevented.
