Patient's question:
Patient, female, 62 years old, experienced severe abdominal pain on January 27, 2011. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. She took several days of anti-inflammatory medication, which showed some improvement. Recently, on March 7, the abdominal pain recurred again, and she is now considering surgery.Desired help: I would like to ask, if the ovarian cyst surgery is benign, is it necessary to remove the uterus as well? What are the effects on the patient's future health if the uterus is removed? Urgent need for help, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if it is simply an ovarian cyst, it will not be painful unless it reverses or ruptures. Or if it is a chocolate cyst, it generally causes dysmenorrhea. Generally, if an ovarian cyst is not too large, it can be left alone and simply monitored. Moreover, most ovarian cysts are benign and rarely become malignant. Additionally, ovarian cyst removal surgery will not harm the uterus or ovaries. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
