Patient's question:
Two months ago, I had an abortion. Currently, I have right abdominal pain (the pain worsens when walking or vibrating, but it's manageable when maintaining a static position). I had an ultrasound, and the result showed that the right ovary is enlarged. After taking medication for two days, the pain hasn't subsided. Should I go to the hospital immediately?Follow-up question: If it's a right ovarian cyst, what treatments should I receive? Can medication alone be sufficient? What precautions should I take in daily life?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to confirm if this is the cause and then treat accordingly. The treatment should primarily focus on medication.Lifestyle care: During the acute phase, antibiotic treatment should be administered. If there is aspirated fluid or pus, culture and sensitivity tests should be performed before using antibiotics, which will be more effective. If there are adhesions around the ovary or ovarian-tubal, surgical options such as laparotomy or laparoscopic adhesiolysis can be considered. If an ovarian abscess or ovarian-tubal abscess does not respond well to antibiotic treatment, surgical intervention may be necessary. Removing the affected adnexa while preserving the healthy ones can help retain fertility.
In summary, surgical treatment that preserves and establishes fertility should be performed.
