Patient's question:
On the 19th, I had an ovarian cyst removal and a D&C procedure. The cervical biopsy revealed CIN1, and the doctor prescribed interferon vaginal suppositories. They also recommended laser surgery for the CIN1. I want to ask if I can start using interferon now or wait until after my next menstrual period? For the laser surgery, should it be done after finishing the medication or can it be done simultaneously?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a D&C (dilation and curettage) is a surgical procedure to remove the endometrium or contents of the uterine cavity, which may be performed for diagnostic purposes.Guidelines:
Recommendation: When a mixed mass is detected in the ovaries, the treatment for ovarian cysts can be initially managed conservatively with one to two courses, followed by a follow-up ultrasound. If the mass shrinks, surgery may not be necessary. However, if there is no change or even if it grows larger, surgery is required.
