Who is suitable for ovarian cystectomy?

Ovarian cystectomy is a direct and effective treatment for patients with ovarian cysts. People who are suitable for ovarian cystectomy are:

Non-physiological cysts

Non-physiological ovarian cysts are usually difficult to control with drug treatment. The cysts will gradually increase in size over time, compressing the surrounding tissues, causing physical discomfort to the patient and affecting their normal life. Therefore, they should be surgically removed as soon as possible.

Those who are in menopause or do not want to have children

Ovarian cysts can occur in one or both ovaries of menopausal women or women who do not want to have children. If the cyst is too large, hysterectomy may be considered. To avoid malignant transformation of ovarian cysts, such patients should undergo surgery as soon as possible.

Larger cysts

If the cyst is large, with a diameter of 8 cm or more, it will cause a serious burden on the patient's body, causing compression symptoms such as difficulty breathing, frequent urination, dysuria, and constipation. Such patients should undergo surgery to remove the cyst as soon as possible.

Those with severe symptoms

If the patient has severe symptoms, such as acute abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and fever, surgery must be performed as soon as possible to avoid danger.

Patients with ascites

The presence of ascites is often a feature of malignant tumors, but benign cysts such as ovarian fibromas and papillary cystadenomas can also produce symptoms of ovarian cysts with ascites. Patients with ovarian tumors and ascites should undergo surgery as soon as possible to avoid malignant transformation.

Malignant tendencies

Patients who are found to have ovarian cysts with a tendency to become malignant should undergo surgery to remove the cysts as soon as possible to prevent malignant transformation.
