Patient's question:
Because I didn't plan to have children before and got pregnant twice by accident, both times I had an abortion. But now I want to get pregnant, yet I haven't been able to. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they found ovarian cysts. The doctor said it might be related to this.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts manifest as mild lower abdominal pain, a palpable lump, accompanied by an increase in leukorrhea (vaginal discharge) that is yellow, foul-smelling, and excessive or insufficient menstrual flow. In severe cases, they can cause intense abdominal pain. This condition can be diagnosed through a gynecological examination or ultrasound. Ovarian cysts can affect the menopausal function of the ovaries, leading to ovulation disorders and infertility, as well as early miscarriages. The treatment for ovarian cysts typically involves surgical removal, but most patients are reluctant to undergo this procedure due to high costs, scarring, and the likelihood of recurrence at the same site or the development of new cysts on the opposite ovary. The key issue is that the ovary is the site where eggs develop, mature, and are released. If the ovary is damaged, it can disrupt the process of egg development, maturation, and release, resulting in infertility.
