Patient's question:
The removal surgery was performed in July, and the examination results showed it was benign. Now I'm experiencing lower abdominal pain and irregular menstruation. Upon careful examination, I found a small nodule has grown back at the previous location. What could this nodule be, and how should it be treated? Thank you (I hope you can explain it in more detail).Previous treatment and outcome:
Removal surgery via laparoscopy was performed in July.
What can be done now:
What could the newly grown nodule be?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of ovarian cysts include dysmenorrhea, pain during intercourse, menstrual disorders, etc. Cysts are divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological cysts are caused by the physiological cycle and are easily recurrent during the menstrual period when undergoing ultrasound. Generally, physiological cysts do not require treatment. It is recommended to re-examine ovarian cysts during the non-menstrual period. The recurrence rate of ovarian cysts is very low, and surgical treatment should be considered if the cyst size is less than 5 centimeters or if it recurs after conservative treatment.
