What to do if your ovarian cysts enlarge after your period

What should I do if my ovarian cysts enlarge during menstruation?

Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages, and patients are often found only during gynecological examinations when they seek medical treatment for other diseases.

2. Early diagnosis is difficult, 70% of cases are treated in the late stage, and early treatment is rarely available. The 5-year survival rate has been hovering at 20-30%, making it one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives.

3. There are many types of ovarian cysts, including ovarian mucinous tumors, ovarian fibromas, cystic teratomas, malignant transformation of benign tumors, primary malignant ovarian tumors and gastrointestinal metastases.

4. Surgery is the first choice for ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are still good after surgery. Because although it has an impact on ovarian function, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. It should also be supplemented with dietary therapy. Food therapy for ovarian cysts must start with improving physical fitness and curbing mutant cells with impeccable immunity.
