Patient's question:
33 years old, with a history of cesarean section, recently feeling severe lower back pain, and having very little menstrual flow. After undergoing a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital, a 43 mm × 29 mm echo-free area was found in the right adnexa. After a thorough examination by the gynecologist, it was diagnosed as an ovarian cyst. The doctor recommended surgery. Can the doctor avoid surgery?Doctor's answer:
A cyst is a type of benign tumor, and if it is generally less than 5 cm, surgical treatment should be considered in a timely manner. According to your current examination report, it has not exceeded this standard, so drug-based treatment can be considered first. Monitor the effects and have a follow-up examination after three months. If the growth rate is too fast, surgical treatment will need to be promptly adopted to address the root cause. Currently, it has not yet met the criteria for surgery, so surgical treatment is not necessary. I hope my response will be helpful to you. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with ovarian cysts also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this condition more quickly.
