Patient's question:
This year, a 6cm left ovarian cyst was found. Then on October 22nd, laparoscopic surgery was performed. Since then, she has been experiencing discomfort and itching in the vagina, feeling like there might be inflammation, but the vaginal discharge test came back normal. She has been taking Fukejing capsules and has not had sexual intercourse. What could be the possible reasons for this? Is it necessary to have a thorough examination at the hospital? Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's description, laparoscopic surgery was performed on October 22, and the patient also went to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Currently, the patient feels discomfort in the vagina, but a routine vaginal discharge test showed no abnormalities, and special treatment is not required. It is recommended that the patient relax and not be overly anxious. The female vagina has a self-cleaning function; it can adjust itself, and inflammation issues only arise when it falls below its capacity. Since there are no abnormalities in the test results, medication treatment is not necessary at this time. Additionally, during the treatment for an ovarian cyst, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary interference with the recovery of the ovarian cyst.
