Ovarian cysts during menstruation

Ovarian cysts during menstruation

Ovarian cysts are very common female genital tumors and can appear on one side or on both sides. Generally speaking, ovarian cysts are benign cysts, but they also have a certain chance of becoming malignant. After discovering ovarian cysts during menstruation, it is necessary to find the cause and treat it in time. After all, it is hereditary. If it is not effectively solved, it may even endanger the health of the next generation.

Causes

1. Genetic factors

According to statistics, 20% to 25% of ovarian tumor patients have a family history.

2. Endocrine factors

The ovaries are important organs for ovulation and secretion of gonadal hormones. Ovarian tumors often occur during the reproductive age. Clinically, the basic pathophysiological change in many patients with ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome is that the ovaries produce too much androgen, and the excessive production of androgen is the result of the synergistic effect of abnormal functions of multiple endocrine systems in the body.

3. Lifestyle factors

Long-term bad diet structure, living habits, and excessive psychological stress can lead to physiological ovarian cysts and true ovarian tumors.

4. Environmental factors

Food contamination, such as plant growth hormones used in vegetables, and hormone ingredients such as clenbuterol in formula feeding of livestock and poultry. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and changes in eating habits in my country, as well as the abuse of hormone drugs and tonics such as breast augmentation, weight loss, and anti-aging by some young and middle-aged women, the high incidence and younger age of ovarian tumors may also be related.

treat

Surgical treatment: The treatment of ovarian cysts depends on factors such as the patient's age, whether it is malignant, the location, volume, size, growth rate of the cyst, whether the reproductive function is preserved, and the patient's subjective wishes.

1. Surgical treatment of benign ovarian cysts

(1) Ovarian cystectomy. This procedure is often used in young patients, especially premenopausal patients, while preserving normal ovarian tissue as much as possible.

(2) Salpingo-oophorectomy: Older patients (over 45 years old) or postmenopausal patients can undergo unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

2. Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts

(1) Most patients are already in the advanced stage when they seek medical treatment, so every effort should be made to remove the primary cyst and any visible pelvic and abdominal metastases.

(2) Consider placing a catheter in the abdominal cavity to facilitate the postoperative intraperitoneal injection of chemotherapy drugs.
