Ovarian cyst surgery must be considered in two situations

Before surgery for ovarian cysts, a detailed analysis of the cysts is required. For smaller cysts, those with a diameter of no more than 5 cm, conservative treatment is generally preferred. Ovarian cyst surgery is considered mainly in the following situations.

1. Endometriosis lesions can also form ovarian cysts on the ovaries. Because the cysts contain dark brown sticky old blood, which looks like chocolate, they are also called ovarian chocolate cysts. They usually present with dysmenorrhea. With each menstrual period, the blood in the cysts gradually increases, the cysts gradually increase in size, and sometimes even rupture. Although ovarian chocolate cysts are not tumors, dysmenorrhea also affects fertility, and patients are often in pain. Therefore, once ovarian chocolate cysts are suspected, medical treatment and ovarian cyst surgery should be sought as soon as possible.

2. Ovarian tumors are divided into benign and malignant. Benign tumors usually present as unilateral cysts, active, shiny surface, and slow growth. Malignant tumors present as bilateral or unilateral, solid or cystic and solid, with uneven surface. However, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors clinically, and pathological examination after surgery is required to make the final distinction. Therefore, once a tumor is suspected, ovarian cyst surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Ovarian cyst surgery is very mature under modern medical technology, and the treatment effect is also outstanding. However, not everyone is suitable for ovarian cyst surgery, especially those with weak constitution or a history of drug allergy. Special attention should be paid to the choice of ovarian cyst surgery.
