Patient's question:
My female colleague has been experiencing abdominal pain and bloating for some time. She has been putting off getting checked. Recently, she had a gynecological examination. The results showed she had an ovarian cyst.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts are common tumors of the female reproductive system. The incidence rate is very high. Clinically, ovarian cysts often manifest as lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, menstrual disorders, and usually a solid, painless lump in the lower abdomen. Sometimes sexual intercourse may cause pain. The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects the patient's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
