Patient's question:
In the past few months, my menstruation has been a bit irregular, and during each period, there is a strong odor down there. After the period ends, there is also a brown discharge. I am very worried about these ovarian cysts. What are the symptoms of inflamed ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned are not necessarily just a sign of ovarian cysts recurring, so a thorough examination is needed. First, have a color Doppler ultrasound to check if there are ovarian cysts. Additionally, if there is a recurrence of odor, it is important to carefully observe the condition of leukorrhea after menstruation—whether it is excessive and yellow. A leukorrhea test should be conducted to check for vaginal inflammation or cervical inflammation. If there is already gynecological inflammation, it may lead to odor during menstruation. The inflammation of the ovarian cyst you mentioned is not very obvious, and a thorough examination is necessary to determine it.
