Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My menstrual cycle has become very irregular, so I felt uneasy and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor prescribed an ultrasound, which showed that my ovarian cyst is 10 centimeters and benign. Do I need treatment? I'm worried that not treating it might lead to cancer.Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry, as most ovarian cysts are benign. Currently, the ovarian cyst is already 10 centimeters in size, and it is essential to have surgery to remove it promptly for proper treatment. If you are concerned about it potentially causing cancer, you can have the removed ovarian cyst examined through a pathological test for a definitive diagnosis. Rest well, maintain a nutritious diet, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and if you have any gynecological conditions, treat them promptly.
