Patient's question:
In June 2005, I underwent laparoscopic surgery due to a 6×7 cm right ovarian cyst. However, on December 9, I just had a pregnancy test and found another cyst on the right side, measuring 5.4×4.7 cm. Both times I had the test were around the time of my period. The last time, the cyst was still that size after my period, so I had surgery. I haven’t felt any discomfort. What could be happening, and what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent ovarian cysts are not uncommon in clinical practice, as the environment for the formation of ovarian cysts within the body still exists, making the probability of recurrence very high. Ovarian cysts are primarily caused by long-term dietary imbalances, poor lifestyle habits, excessive psychological stress, and other factors that lead to an over-acidification of the body, resulting in ovarian diseases and endocrine disorders. This further weakens the immune system, leading to abnormal proliferation of ovarian tissue and ultimately causing ovarian cysts, which may even progress to cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely treatment for ovarian cysts.
