Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts? My mother is 49 years old this year. Last month, she was carefully examined in the hospital and found to have an ovarian cyst. At first, she only had symptoms of lower abdominal pain, but later she developed peritoneal irritation signs and also had ascites. How can it be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are divided into physiological cysts and pathological cysts. Physiological ovarian cysts are also known as non-neoplastic cysts and can resolve on their own, which are commonly referred to as follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts. If your mother experiences abdominal pain and ascites again, further careful examination of tumor markers is necessary to rule out malignant ovarian cysts. If the condition recurs, acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur again, at which point emergency surgery may be required.
