Hello, ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with cystic types being most prevalent, and they have a high rate of malignant transformation. Symptoms include a sense of fullness or heaviness in the lower abdomen or pelvic area. In severe cases, it may cause abdominal pain, bloating, difficulty breathing, reduced appetite, nausea, and fever. Larger cysts can press on nearby bladder tissues, leading to frequent urination and urinary difficulties. Treatment typically involves the removal of the affected fallopian tube and ovary. For postmenopausal women with unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts, and total hysterectomy are generally recommended. For patients with ovarian inflammation, in addition to standard treatment, it is important to pay close attention to personal hygiene, especially in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is essential to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
