Should ovarian cysts be removed? Who are the most suitable people for surgery?

Ovarian cysts are a common reproductive system disease in women, most of which are simple benign cysts. In traditional treatments, no matter what type of ovarian cysts are, surgical removal of the ovaries is used for treatment, which has almost become a routine. This is a helpless move under the limitations of medical technology conditions, and the harm to the female body is huge. Although the ovaries are small in size, they are the most important organ of female characteristics. Ovarian removal will cause a series of adverse effects on female physiology, such as decreased quality of sex life, premature aging, aggravated menopausal symptoms, endocrine dysfunction, infertility, etc.

Ovarian cysts do not necessarily need to be removed. For smaller cysts, conservative drug treatment is generally used. With the advancement of science and technology, the treatment of ovarian cysts has undergone great changes in recent years. The use of laparoscopic minimally invasive technology to treat ovarian cysts has a very good clinical effect. In particular, for tumors with a fast growth rate and a diameter greater than 5 cm, surgical treatment is generally required.

The best candidates for surgery are:

1. If the cyst is larger than 8 cm or acute abdomen occurs, the main symptoms are acute abdominal pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fever, etc. In severe cases, even shock, surgery is required.

2. Patients with ovarian tumors and ascites.

3. If unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts occur in women who are postmenopausal or have no fertility requirements, total hysterectomy may be considered.
