Patient's question:
All symptoms: No symptoms Onset time and cause: Detected stones on August 9 for treatment Treatment status: Admitted to the hospital on August 12, scheduled for laparoscopic surgery on Tuesday next week (August 17) Desired help: What should be noted before signing the surgery contract?Doctor's answer:
Uterine and ovarian cysts can affect people of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different natures and shapes, among which cystic types are most prevalent, and the degree of malignancy is high. Early diagnosis is difficult. The main symptoms include lower abdominal discomfort, increased abdominal circumference with an abdominal mass, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, and compression symptoms. Ovarian cysts can be physiological (normal and naturally disappear with the physiological cycle) or pathological (formed due to disease). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. For women of childbearing age, the next steps depend on the nature of the cyst. Ultrasound results are very helpful for diagnosis. If ultrasound indicates a non-echoic cyst without septations, it is recommended to wait for 3 months and then repeat the ultrasound. If the cyst still exists after 3 months, surgical treatment should be considered. For other types of cysts, they are mostly pathological and should be surgically diagnosed.
