Patient's question:
I would like to ask the doctor what is the best treatment method for ovarian cysts? Currently, one ultrasound indicated it is about 3.7 cm in size. Also, recently for the past few 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 and are now 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 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 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 affect women of all ages, but are most common in those aged 20 to 50. Ovarian tumors are common gynecological tumors in women, with various different natures and forms, including unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Among these, cystic tumors are more common, and there is a certain proportion of malignant cases. 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 or corpus luteum hematomas, or simple cysts, they may shrink or disappear after ovulation. It is recommended to have another check-up one month later.
