Patient's question:
I often experience lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, increased abdominal circumference, and menstrual irregularities. There may also be abnormal vaginal discharge. Additionally, I feel a foreign body sensation in the pelvis, so I am now wondering if the foreign body sensation in the pelvis and ear pain are symptoms of pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 centimeters and there is no evidence suggesting a tumor, it is often a functional cyst, which can be treated with Guizhi Fuling capsules. Close follow-up is recommended, meaning check-ups every 2-3 months, and then adjust the follow-up interval based on the situation. If the cyst diameter is greater than 5 centimeters, it is more likely an ovarian tumor, and surgical treatment is generally required. If accompanied by progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, as well as tender nodules in the pelvis, endometriosis cysts should be considered. Different treatments can be adopted based on specific circumstances. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
