Patient's question:
Does an ovarian cyst cause menstrual cramps? For the past few months, I've been experiencing stomach pain every time I get my period. Previously, my periods were very regular, with just a slight feeling of lower abdominal heaviness. However, the pain has become increasingly severe each time, and I'm wondering if it might be an ovarian cyst. What tests should I undergo?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that the recurrence of menstrual pain symptoms and mental tension is directly related to overexertion and exposure to cold. Of course, having an ovarian cyst may also alleviate these symptoms. The most direct and effective clinical diagnosis method for treating this condition is surgical intervention. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and maintain dietary hygiene. Apply cold compresses and take precautions against cold during menstruation. Avoid consuming fruits and vegetables with strong cooling properties.
