Patient's question:
Recently, pain during sexual intercourse has recurred. On a daily basis, there are frequent episodes of lower abdominal pain and discomfort, similar to the premenstrual symptoms. The color of the vaginal discharge is light yellow and has a pungent odor, yet menstruation never occurs, which is an abnormal manifestation. After examination, it was found to be a partial cystic change in the left ovary.Doctor's answer:
Partial cystic change in the left ovary is the presence of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different natures and shapes, among which cystic types are most common, and the degree of malignancy is very high. Generally, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be adopted. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is often an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment.
