Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 41 years old. She has a poor constitution and went for a health check-up a few days before her menstrual period. The color Doppler ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst about 6 cm in size in her body. She had no symptoms before this. How should she be treated? What kind of help does she value: 1. Will a pre-menstrual check-up affect the condition? 2. The doctor who conducted the health check-up recommended surgery. If she does not undergo surgery, should she use it, and how can the treatment be more effective?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different natures and shapes. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine the nature of the cyst upon diagnosis. Generally, cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm have surgical indications, and the effect of drug treatment on cysts is not very good.1. It is recommended to take antibiotics for a few days when menstruation starts, and then have a check-up after the menstruation ends. This can help determine if it is an inflammatory cyst, as inflammatory cysts can disappear.
2. If the cyst does not disappear after repeated checks, surgical treatment is still recommended, as other methods are not ideal.
