Patient's question:
Sexual activity then caused stomach pain. The hospital conducted a thorough examination with ultrasound and discovered that I had an ovarian cyst, which was 4 cm in size. I had never had a detailed 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 activity, or possibly a follicle had broken.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological. The causes of cyst formation are often due to inflammation, endocrine disorders, developmental abnormalities of the ovaries, and other factors. It may cause certain interference during pregnancy. Generally, if the cyst is no larger than five centimeters, it can be treated with medication and regular follow-up examinations. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be chosen for treatment. Advanced diagnostic techniques such as laparoscopy can help 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, regular follow-up examinations should be conducted. A light diet should be maintained as the foundation, avoiding cold foods, alcohol, and other stimulating substances. Wishing you a speedy recovery! For severe ovarian cyst patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
