Patient's question:
Grandma has been menopausal for several years, and she hasn't had her period for a long time. Recently, she said she noticed some blood stains on her underwear and felt a bit upset. So, she went for a gynecological examination, and the doctor said it was an adnexal cyst. Now, she wants to know what to do about adnexal cysts after menopause.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to seek medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor for safety and effectiveness. Corresponding treatment measures should be adopted based on the size of the cyst and clinical diagnostic symptoms. After menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels gradually rise. Cysts are caused by endocrine disorders of progesterone, so after menopause, cysts may expand on their own. If they do not exceed the criteria for surgery, it is possible to monitor them carefully on your own and have regular follow-up examinations.
