Patient's question:
I had half of my ovarian cyst removed nearly 7-8 years ago, and I haven't had my period since. I don't have any children. Is the situation not optimistic?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are two types of ovarian cysts. One is an ovarian tumor. If the cyst is larger than 6 centimeters, surgical treatment is usually required. The other type is a non-neoplastic ovarian tumor, such as a follicular cyst, corpus luteum cyst, polycystic ovary syndrome, or chocolate cyst. Your condition should be considered an ovarian tumor, but it cannot be determined whether it is benign or malignant because your cyst is relatively small. You can first wait and see, and undergo conservative treatment. Surgery is not the only way to treat ovarian cysts. Whether surgery is needed now is best decided by consulting with your doctor.
