Patient's question:
Recently, my younger sister has been feeling discomfort in her lower abdomen, experiencing irregular menstruation, and severe menstrual cramps. Additionally, she has gained a lot of weight recently. A few days ago, I accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results revealed a 6cm cyst. I want to ask what could have caused this and what are the good treatment methods, as well as how I can assist her. How serious is an ovarian cyst of this size, and are there any other methods besides this?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of cysts are directly related to gynecological inflammation, endocrine issues, and other factors. Currently, her cysts have grown quite large. To prevent the risk of retrograde infection leading to acute gynecological abdominal pain, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. There are many surgical options, such as laparoscopic surgery and the Aorlok microelectrode technique. It is advised that your sister-in-law seek targeted treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible.Ginger and Bao Ling pills can help suppress the growth of ovarian cysts. Surgical removal is also an option. A delay of 3 to 5 days in menstruation is normal, as long as it does not exceed a week, it is not considered menstrual irregularity.
