Patient's question:
I've been married for 4 years. Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable on the left side of my lower abdomen, with a slightly bloated sensation, but without any pain. Could I have an ovarian cyst or a gynecological tumor? What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts and gynecological tumors? I'm very worried now and want to know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women of childbearing age. The cysts can be physiological (meaning they are normal and can naturally disappear with the menstrual cycle) or pathological (formed due to illness). Physiological cysts do not require surgery, while pathological cysts often need surgery for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. You should first determine whether the cyst is physiological or pathological.Recommendation: It is recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. Currently, advanced diagnostic techniques such as color Doppler ultrasound, X-ray examinations, and laparoscopy can detect ovarian cyst lesions at an early stage. Although ovarian cysts can easily become malignant, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can still prevent this from happening.
