How should ovarian tumors be treated?

Patient's question:

In the past few months, I have been experiencing symptoms of lower abdominal pain, and my menstrual cycle has also returned to being irregular. This has been going on for over four months. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have an ovarian tumor. I am feeling extremely upset. How should ovarian tumors be treated?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your questions. Ovarian tumors themselves have solid lesions, and sex-related conditions are typically divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. If it's a simple benign tumor, the MRI usually shows smooth edges, a complete capsule, and clear boundaries with surrounding tissues. In this case, surgical removal can be decided. If there is a malignant recurrence, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy may still be required.
