Patient's question:
I have had ovarian cysts for several years. I have always had irregular periods. We have been living together for nearly four years and still haven't been able to get pregnant. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts first manifest as discomfort symptoms, such as lower abdominal discomfort and pain. Clinically, they may present with increased vaginal discharge, yellow discharge, abnormal vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities, and often a solid, painless mass in the lower abdomen. If this condition is left untreated for a long time, it may lead to malignant transformation. In the early stages of ovarian malignant cysts, symptoms are rarely present, making diagnosis difficult. General symptoms include weight loss, abdominal bloating, abdominal masses, and ascites. Additionally, the most significant harm of ovarian cysts to the body is that they may twist or rupture, causing peritonitis. Furthermore, women with ovarian cysts have a 40% chance of infertility. If the cyst is large, even pregnancy may be affected due to compression of the uterus, leading to impaired uterine growth and potentially resulting in premature birth, difficult labor, or even miscarriage. It is recommended to visit a formal infertility and sterility specialty hospital for examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
