Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: What is an ovarian cyst? What causes it? How can it be treated, without surgery? What will be the impact if it is not treated?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cyst formation in the uterine appendages include an unreasonable dietary structure, a high cholesterol diet, and the lack of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as environmental factors such as smoking and ionizing radiation, and endocrine factors. Cervical cysts are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. For scattered, relatively small cervical glandular cysts, treatment is generally not required, and annual examinations are sufficient. For dense, small Nabothian cysts or larger cysts, physical treatments such as phototherapy, laser, microwave, and cryotherapy may be considered. For larger cysts that protrude from the surface of the cervix, electrocautery excision may be a treatment option.
