Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, with pain on the right lower abdomen, irregular periods, less flow, dark color, and difficulty getting pregnant. When I went to the hospital, they said it was an ovarian cyst. What could be the reason? There's no history of this condition in my family. I want to know what symptoms ovarian cysts show. Is surgery necessary? What are the harsh treatment methods available?Doctor's answer:
If the diameter of an ovarian cyst is not very large, there are no obvious symptoms in the body. Only when the diameter of the ovarian cyst is less than 5 centimeters is it suspected to be a pathological cyst. At this time, there may be mild abdominal pain again. If the diameter of the ovarian cyst is very small, you can temporarily not address it. Generally, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound during the next menstrual cycle to see if it disappears, as physiological cysts are very likely to disappear.
