Patient's question:
Ovarian cysts come out with menstruation, what's going on? I'm 32 years old now. Is it necessary for me to have surgery in this condition? I'm told that if it's serious, not to rush into surgery, it could even be life-threatening. Should I have surgery now?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts will never be expelled with menstruation. The specific cause of cyst formation is unknown. First, undergo a gynecological ultrasound to carefully examine the size of the cyst. If it is not large, no treatment is needed, and follow-up checks should be performed at irregular intervals. If it is larger than 5 centimeters, surgery should be considered. Ovarian cysts can cause lower abdominal pain, torsion of the stalk, rupture, and complications such as peeling. After surgery, a pathological examination should be conducted to rule out cysts caused by cancer. In that case, careful observation should be the first step.
