Patient's question:
I am generally in good health, but a few days ago I had some pain in my lower abdomen, and recently my menstrual cycle has also become irregular. I have been wanting to go to the hospital for a detailed check-up. The doctor said I have an ovarian cyst. What are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst? How is it formed and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital. Generally, if the diameter of the cyst is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst, which usually requires surgical treatment.Suggestion: Ovarian tumors are the most diverse, divided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Physiological types include follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts. Pathological types are further divided into neoplasms and non-neoplastic tumors. Non-neoplastic tumors include endometriosis and polycystic ovaries. Neoplastic tumors are further divided into benign and malignant types, with some being borderline between benign and malignant. Conventionally, ovarian tumors refer to neoplasms.
It is recommended that you have a timely hospital examination for diagnosis and follow medical advice.
