Patient's question:
I usually have my period every 40 days. This time, my period started on December 17th, but it's not like usual—my flow is much lighter. After each urination, when I wipe with paper, there's barely any blood. It's been five days already, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The findings were as follows: (I had an abortion in June 2003, and I am currently 26 years old.)Bladder-filled TAS: The uterus is anteriorly positioned, measuring 4.9cm3.8cm2.3cm. The endometrium is solid and homogeneous, with a thickness of 0.3cm, and the uterine cavity waves are clear.
Left ovary: 2.9cm1.4cm, cystic and solid.
Right ovary: 2.8cm
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, your condition can only be treated with surgery at this time. As for whether the surgery will be painful? Surgery will certainly involve some pain! However, as long as anesthesia is used, there is no problem! The only treatment for ovarian tumors is surgical removal. For cysts with a diameter of less than 5 to 6 cm, observation for 3 to 6 months is recommended. If the cyst continues to grow, or if the tumor has a diameter of less than 5 cm but is solid, surgical removal should be performed. For children and young, childless patients, the approach often involves the removal of the affected ovary or the affected adnexa. If the bilateral ovaries have benign tumors, the doctor may consider performing an ovarian tumor enucleation to preserve as much ovarian tissue as possible, thereby maintaining menstrual and fertility functions. Laparoscopic surgery involves small abdominal incisions and a faster recovery.
