Patient's question:
Hello doctor. One of my female colleagues has had abdominal pain and bloating for a while. She has been putting off getting checked. Recently, she had a gynecological examination. The results showed she had an ovarian cyst.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts are one of the common gynecological diseases, most prevalent in women aged 20-50. The 5-year survival rate has always fluctuated between 20-30%, making it one of the most severe malignant tumors threatening women's lives. Clinically, ovarian cysts often manifest as lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. Additionally, there is usually a solid, painless mass in the lower abdomen, and sexual intercourse may cause pain. Ovarian cysts can be benign, borderline malignant, or malignant tumors, requiring early detection and early treatment. The primary treatment method is surgical removal of the cyst. It is recommended to undergo early examination and treatment based on specific symptoms.
