When should I have surgery for ovarian cysts?

When should ovarian cysts be operated on?

1. Ovarian cyst is a broad ovarian tumor that can occur at any age, but is most common between the ages of 20 and 50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive organs, with single or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant, among which cysts are common and the degree of malignant changes is very high.

2. The physiological manifestations of ovarian cysts are abdominal pain, abdominal pain, increased leucorrhea, yellow leucorrhea odor, menstrual disorders, usually strong, painless swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, and sometimes it occurs during sexual intercourse.

3. When cysts affect hormone production, physiological symptoms may occur such as ovarian cysts, irregular vaginal bleeding or increased hair growth.

4. Physiological symptoms such as cyst torsion, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, dyspnea, loss of appetite, nausea, fever, and ovarian cysts. Compression causes large cysts to approach the bladder, leading to swollen ovaries with frequent urination and difficulty urinating.

Whether an ovarian cyst is a good candidate for surgery depends on:

1. If the cyst is larger than 5 cm in diameter or there is acute abdomen, surgery is necessary. First of all, the nature of the cyst must be clarified, whether it is physiological or pathological, benign or malignant.

2. Endometriosis lesions can also form cysts on the ovaries. It is also called ovarian chocolate cyst because it contains dark brown sticky old blood, just like chocolate. Although ovarian chocolate cysts are not tumors, dysmenorrhea also affects fertility, and patients are often very painful. Once ovarian chocolate cysts are suspected, medical treatment and surgery should be sought as soon as possible.
