Patient's question:
No other medical history. A year ago, due to incontinence during urination and irregular menstruation, I was hospitalized for a thorough examination and found to have an uterine cyst, about 5 centimeters in size. I forgot what the doctor said, and I haven't gone for follow-up checks. Now, I often experience tightness and numbness in my lower limbs, frequently have insufficient sleep, and my menstruation is also irregular, sometimes not coming for several months. What's going on? Besides, what are the risks of not removing the uterine cyst to the body? Can it lead to complications? How can it be completely removed? Does it require surgery?Doctor's answer:
I would be happy to help you clarify this. You haven't had your period for several months, which means you have experienced amenorrhea. It's important to investigate the cause. It could be due to an ovarian cyst, or it might be related to your age. I recommend going to the hospital for a thorough examination, which can check the condition of your uterus and ovaries. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, surgery may be necessary. If there is no cyst, you can have a test for the six sex hormones to determine the cause of the cessation of menstruation. You also have poor sleep, which could be related to the amenorrhea. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to the hygiene of the vaginal area, with a light diet as the foundation.
