What is the difference between ovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries?

What is the difference between ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome? The commonality between polycystic ovaries and ovarian cysts is that they are both ovarian diseases. They can also cause female infertility.

What is the relationship between ovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries? The incidence of ovarian cysts is very high. It usually refers to ovarian cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm. After discovery, you can insist on doing examinations. If there is no enlargement, it will recover naturally. If the ovarian cyst continues to enlarge, surgical treatment should be performed in time.

Polycystic ovary can cause ovulation disorders. There are two reasons for polycystic ovary: one is that the white membrane on the outer layer of the ovary becomes thick and dense, and the follicle cannot break through in time after it matures; or because multiple eggs develop at the same time, there is no mature dominant follicle during the ovulation period, so ovulation cannot occur.

treat:

1. Chemotherapy: In addition to surgery, chemotherapy drugs can be used to treat malignant ovarian cancer.

2. Surgical treatment: During surgery, the abdominal incision should be large and the movements should be gentle so that the tumor can be completely removed.

3. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is often used as an adjuvant treatment after surgery or as a restorative treatment for patients in the advanced stage. It is more suitable for patients with residual tumors less than 2 cm in diameter.

Prevention and self-care:

1. Regular screening can often detect ovarian cancer in time. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Malignant ovarian cancer should be treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

2. Follow-up observation: Cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm may be non-neoplastic cysts. Most of them can disappear on their own, but regular follow-up is necessary. If they increase in size, surgery should be performed immediately.
