Patient's question:
How should ovarian cysts be treated? After sexual intercourse, I experienced abdominal pain. The hospital conducted a thorough examination with an ultrasound and discovered that I had an ovarian cyst, which was 4 cm in size. I had never had a check-up before and didn't know how long it had been there. Meanwhile, the pelvic fluid was increasing. The doctor said it might have ruptured due to sexual intercourse, or that the follicle had broken.Doctor's answer:
Go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic technologies such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examinations, and laparoscopy can detect ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, as long as early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are achieved, it is important to undergo regular follow-up examinations, maintain a light diet, and avoid cold, raw foods, alcohol, and other stimulating substances. For severe cases of ovarian cysts, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
