Patient's question:
During the pre-marital examination, it was discovered that my girlfriend had an ovarian cyst. Recently, in addition to going to the hospital for treatment, she is experiencing pain in the lower left abdomen due to the ovarian cyst. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Lower abdominal pain may be due to an ovarian cyst, possibly related to the cyst being too large, or recurrent torsion, rupture, or peeling. First, undergo an ovarian ultrasound examination for confirmation. If the size is not more than 5 centimeters, follow-up examinations can be irregular. Additionally, check the tumor marker CA125 to see if it is high. If it is high, early surgery is recommended. If it is not high, laparoscopic or surgical treatment for the cyst can be considered. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
