Patient's question:
I have had an ovarian cyst for over ten years and have felt no discomfort in my body. Recently, an ultrasound showed that the cyst is 4.0-2.7 cm, with lower abdominal bloating and pain, and it has grown larger than before. Additionally, I haven't had much energy in my legs. I don't know if this is due to the cyst changing again.Past Treatment and Effectiveness:

Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. Cysts can be physiological or pathological. Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for definitive diagnosis and additional treatment. First, you need to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic methods such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examination, and laparoscopy can help diagnose ovarian cyst inflammation at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this.
