Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if medication doesn't help shrink an ovarian cyst, and it has grown now, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you mentioned, generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is usually a functional cyst, which can be closely followed up, meaning check-ups every 2-3 months, and then adjust the follow-up interval based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects the patient's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
