Patient's question:
In the past two months, I have been feeling uncomfortable in my lower abdomen. Sometimes it hurts, and other times it feels warm. After visiting the hospital, the doctor said I have an ovarian cyst and it might require surgery. But I don't have time to think about medication. Is surgery really necessary for an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a very common disease of the ovaries, characterized by a benign inflammation. The size of an ovarian cyst generally does not change significantly in a short period of time. Therefore, if the cyst is small, it can be carefully monitored or treated with heat-clearing and detoxifying medications. If the cyst is larger than 5 centimeters and frequently causes abdominal distension and pain, surgical treatment should be considered in a timely manner. The above information can serve as a reference.
