What are the main aspects of the examination of ovarian cysts?

The incidence of ovarian cysts has been increasing in recent years. So what are the examinations for ovarian cysts? I hope the following experts' introduction can help you. Let everyone know more about the examinations for ovarian cysts .

1. The first step in the examination of ovarian cysts is laparoscopy, which can directly see the general condition of the tumor and observe the entire pelvic and abdominal cavity. Multiple biopsies are performed at suspicious sites and peritoneal fluid is absorbed for cytological examination to confirm the diagnosis and postoperative monitoring. However, it is contraindicated for patients with huge masses or adhesions, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes cannot be observed, which is a disadvantage.

2. Radiological diagnosis is assisted by abdominal plain film, intravenous pyelography, barium swallow examination, lymph node angiography, etc. Computerized tomography (CT) can distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, diagnose pelvic masses with intestinal obstruction, and show liver, lung and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis. It is a common examination method for ovarian cysts;

3Finally, if the cyst is a malignant ovarian tumor, like other tumors, it can produce and release a variety of products such as antigens, hormones and enzymes. These substances can be detected in the patient's serum through immunology, biochemistry and other methods. They are called tumor markers, indicating the presence of a certain tumor in the body. This is also the examination method for ovarian cysts.

After reading the above brief introduction to the examination methods of ovarian cysts, I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Everyone should pay more attention to the examination methods of ovarian cysts, learn more about them, pay more attention to prevention in life, and treat them as soon as possible once they are found.
