What should I do about a small cyst in the left ovary?

Patient's question:

Doctor:
Hello!
I would like to consult because my stomach always hurts very much every time I have my period. It has been like this since my first period. In March of this year, I had an ultrasound examination at a regular hospital, and the result showed a small cyst in the left ovary. At that time, the doctor said it was nothing serious and did not prescribe any medication for me, just asking me to have another check-up after three months. Later, in June, when I went for a check-up, the result showed that it had disappeared and everything was normal. Because I was afraid, in September, I went to another regular hospital for an ultrasound, and the result was the same. In December, because I had some itching in my vulva, I went for a white discharge check, and also had another ultrasound examination.

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts can affect women of all ages, but they are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common gynecological tumors in women, with various different natures and shapes, among which cystic types are most prevalent, and the degree of malignancy is very high. Currently, the cyst is relatively small, and it is recommended to take Guizhi Fuling capsules for treatment. During the treatment period, regular follow-up examinations are necessary. If the cyst grows larger than 5 cm, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is required. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
