Generally speaking, at your age, if the diameter of the ovarian cyst is less than 5 centimeters, or if you experience a continuous increase in menstrual flow and prolonged periods, you should consider surgery under these conditions. It is recommended that you consult a local hospital based on your situation and decide between laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery or open surgery. For ovarian cyst patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
