Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can ovarian cysts shrink after menopause?Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst is a benign condition. After menopause, with the rise in hormone levels, ovarian cysts tend to gradually shrink. Generally, small ovarian cysts only require periodic follow-up without the need for surgical treatment. Medications can also be used in conjunction for control. If the ovarian cyst shrinks to five centimeters, surgery may be necessary to prevent a potential malignant transformation. I hope this explanation helps you.
