Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for nearly a year, with frequent delays. My vaginal discharge has been yellow and had a bad odor. Due to the bloating and pain in my lower abdomen, I thought it was pelvic and treated it for a long time without any effect. By chance, during an ultrasound examination, it was found to be an ovarian cyst.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts can be classified as physiological or pathological. During ovulation, the ovary may appear slightly larger due to the growth of the follicle, which can easily lead to false positives in ultrasound results. To confirm whether an ovarian cyst is present, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound examination at the hospital after the menstrual period has ended to determine the true size of the ovary. The treatment for ovarian cysts depends on various factors, including the patient's age, whether it is malignant, the location of the cyst, its volume, size, growth rate, whether fertility needs to be preserved, and the patient's personal preferences.
