What are the treatments for ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cyst is a common gynecological disease, which refers to the fluid-filled cystic structure formed in the ovary. In a broad sense, ovarian cyst includes all cystic structures in the ovary, while in a narrow sense, ovarian cyst refers to a simple ovarian cystic mass.

There are three main treatments for ovarian cysts:

1. Conservative treatment: For smaller ovarian cysts, especially physiological cysts, conservative observation is generally used. If the cyst disappears or shrinks after 4-8 weeks, conservative observation can be continued. For physiological ovarian cysts with endocrine symptoms such as menstrual disorders, oral medication can be used to relieve symptoms.

2. Surgical treatment: For larger ovarian cysts or pathological cysts, surgical treatment is generally adopted. Depending on the specific situation, laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy can be selected. The purpose of surgical treatment is to remove the cyst, relieve symptoms, and preserve the patient's fertility as much as possible.

3. Other treatments: In addition to conservative treatment and surgical treatment, some other treatments can also be used, such as ultrasound interventional therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and modern therapy, etc. These treatments can be used as auxiliary treatments to help relieve symptoms and improve treatment effects.

The treatment of ovarian cysts should be selected according to the specific situation of the patient. The doctor will consider the patient's age, fertility requirements, the nature and size of the cyst and other factors to develop an individualized treatment plan. When treating ovarian cysts, it is recommended to have a detailed discussion with the doctor, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and remain patient and actively cooperate during the treatment process to obtain the best treatment effect.
