Patient's question:
Ovarian cyst 6.5 cm, been like this for 3.5 years. It was always less than 5 cm before. Had some abdominal pain recently. Ultrasound shows it's 6.5 cm now. Not sure if surgery is needed.Doctor's answer:
If there are no uncomfortable symptoms, ovarian cysts smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication and regular observation. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment should be considered! Ovarian cysts can be observed, but mixed ovarian masses of any size are recommended for surgical treatment. Inflammatory cysts can be reduced or even disappear with medication. The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects women's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
