What are non-neoplastic ovarian cysts and what are the traditional treatments?

Some ovarian cysts partially or mostly bury themselves deep into the retroperitoneum during their growth. Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders and may lead to complications. So, what are non-tumor ovarian cysts? What are the traditional treatments?

Non-neoplastic ovarian cysts are also called non-neoplastic ovarian cysts. Most of them are functional cysts of the ovaries, including follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, lutein cysts, inflammatory ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries, and endometriosis cysts, also known as ovarian chocolate cysts. Most ovarian cysts are non-neoplastic cysts, and the diameter rarely exceeds 5 cm. These cysts are not tumors, and most of them are benign and can disappear on their own without surgery. However, if the cyst is large or progressively enlarged, or ruptured, it should also be surgically removed.

That is to say, once an ovarian cyst is found, it should be determined as soon as possible whether it is a tumorous cyst or a non-tumorous cyst. The diagnosis can be made based on the growth rate, size, characteristics of the tumor, and corresponding examinations, such as hysterosalpingography, intravenous pyelography, ultrasound diagnosis or abdominal tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and even laparoscopy and laparotomy. If it is the former, early surgical removal is required regardless of whether it is currently malignant.

Traditional treatments for ovarian cysts include conservative treatment and laparotomy. Conservative treatment has the characteristics of long treatment time and strict indications. Laparotomy is an effective means of saving lives. It can remove ovarian cysts and remove blood at the same time. However, this treatment is extremely traumatic, with a long abdominal incision, which causes great damage to the patient's body.
