Patient's question:
I would like to ask the doctor what is the best treatment method for ovarian cysts? Currently, an ultrasound showed it to be about 3.7 cm in size. Also, in recent months, I have been experiencing mild breast pain, and sometimes my nipples feel hard. I used to have severe menstrual cramps, to the point where I would vomit, but they improved after giving birth to my daughter. Currently, they are mostly gone, although sometimes they still hurt but I can tolerate it. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst, and the doctor did not prescribe any medication, saying that surgery could be considered at a certain point. However, since I am young—29 years old this year—the doctor also said it is best not to have surgery, but it depends on the specific situation. I would like to ask if there are no medications available? Also, in my daily life nowDoctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense, and they can occur at any age, but are most common in women aged 20 to 50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system, with various different properties and forms, such as unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Among these, cystic tumors are more common, with a certain proportion of malignancy. Whether surgery is needed depends on your condition. If it is a tumor, surgery is required. If the cyst is caused by ovulation, such as corpus luteum cysts, corpus luteum hematomas, or simple cysts, they may shrink or disappear after ovulation. It is recommended to have another check-up one month later.
