Patient's question:
I've been having lower abdominal pain recently. After a check-up, I was told I have an ovarian cyst. I want to ask if it can be treated and how it should be treated.Doctor's answer:
1. Surgical treatment of benign ovarian cysts:① Ovarian cystectomy: This type of patient often has no menstrual disorders, and some may even have a history of ectopic pregnancy. If one side of the tumor is more significant, the contralateral salpingo-oophorectomy can be performed.
② Salpingo-oophorectomy
③ Adnexal and total hysterectomy
2. Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts:
① Most patients seek medical attention when the disease has already reached an advanced stage. Therefore, every possible effort should be made to remove the primary cyst and any pelvic or abdominal metastatic lesions that can be anticipated.
② For ovarian malignant tumors with ascites, regardless of whether complete removal is achieved, it is advisable to retain a catheter within the abdomen. This allows for postoperative intraperitoneal administration of anesthetic anti-aging agents or radioactive colloidal gold or colloidal phosphorus. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient's dietary condition and nursing care are also very crucial.
