Patient's question:
I have an older sister who has been feeling unwell recently. Yesterday, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said she had an ovarian cyst. My friend told me that if an ovarian cyst is not treated in time, it may lead to infertility. I'd like to ask, what is the difference between pelvic cysts and ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic cysts and ovarian cysts are the same. Pelvic cysts are formed by ovarian cysts, but the terminology is different; pelvic cysts are an improper term. Ovarian cysts have benign masses, which can be regularly monitored for two years. If the size decreases or remains almost unchanged, surgical removal should be considered. Otherwise, they are physiological cysts, which generally have little impact on the body. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological condition. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
