Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. I have lost my figure after giving birth, and my body isn't as good as it used to be. There are cysts in my ovaries. I want to understand how to take care of ovarian cysts, because I'm considering taking medication or having surgery to remove them.Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst is an inflammatory cyst that forms on the ovary. This inflammation can be caused by an unruptured follicle, endometriosis, or chronic ovarian-tubal inflammation. It may also potentially be a tumor. Ovarian cysts smaller than 3.0 centimeters generally do not require treatment. If the cyst is larger, around 5.0 centimeters, surgical treatment may be considered. Medication treatment usually has no definite effect.
