Patient's question:
I am 43 years old this year and always feel lower back pain. Moreover, my menstrual cycle is not normal, and I have a lot of leukorrhea. The doctor at the hospital recommended that I have a color Doppler ultrasound to check it. The color Doppler ultrasound showed a cyst on the ovary, with a diameter of 4 centimeters.Doctor's answer:
1. Conservative treatment: Generally, medication is used to treat ovarian cysts when their diameter is less than 5 centimeters. However, there are certain drawbacks to medication treatment. Medications can only be effective for mild cysts, while severe tumors will never respond to medication. Therefore, some patients with ovarian tumors may undergo surgical treatment after medication. This method is not recommended.2. Surgical treatment: This is a commonly used method for treating ovarian cysts. Generally, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible if the diameter of the ovarian cyst is greater than 5 centimeters. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is the best choice for women. We all know that the ovary is a female perinatal endocrine gland.
