Patient's question:
Medical history: Detected an ovarian cyst during the first gynecological examination, which was initially considered to be physiological. Later, after pregnancy and childbirth via cesarean section, I informed the doctor that if they saw the cyst, they should remove it. The doctor said they did not see it and continued to believe it was a physiological cyst, which was definitely absorbed. A year later, during a check-up, it was still on the left side, approximately 3.02.7 in size.Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered, only dynamic monitoring has been recommended. It seems that there has been no growth in recent years.
Desired help: Dynamic monitoring. I am unsure when to monitor during the menstrual cycle, how to determine whether it is physiological or pathological, and what treatment options are available if it is pathological.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the tumor is no more than 5 centimeters, it will not affect your normal pregnancy. However, if this ovarian cyst is larger than 5 centimeters, it is better to have surgery to remove it before considering pregnancy. Many people have the misconception of "treating small cysts is unnecessary," often overlooking the potential risks of the cyst. Unaware that if left untreated, with the cyst growing too rapidly, it increases the risks of female infertility, miscarriage, cyst rupture, torsion, and more. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are key to avoiding unintended consequences for your health.During treatment, maintaining a positive attitude and cooperating with your doctor will help the condition improve more quickly. Stay cheerful and calm, and try to alleviate various competitive pressures in daily life. Avoid excessive worry, frustration, and anger, and learn to adjust yourself. Pay attention to keeping warm, preventing colds, avoiding getting soaked in rain, wading in water, or taking cold showers, swimming, etc. Maintain a proper balance between work and rest.
