“ถุงน้ำรังไข่” โรคใกล้ตัวผู้หญิงที่คุณหมอยืนยัน...หากเจอต้องรีบจัดการ!

Ovarian cysts are a topic many women have heard about, but how many truly understand this condition? Today, we take the opportunity to discuss and gain more knowledge about ovarian cysts with Dr. Chanchai Laohaprasit, an obstetrician and consultant at the Women&#8217;s Health Center and Fertility Center at Phyathai 3 Hospital.

<h2>Ovarian Cysts: The Silent Threat You Shouldn&#8217;t Overlook</h2>
Ovarian cysts come in various forms. “If it’s a natural cyst that develops during the menstrual cycle, like in women of reproductive age, when menstruation occurs, the endometrial lining sheds, and the ovaries start to produce hormones, leading to the formation of a cyst. If it doesn’t rupture, it can remain for several months, typically not exceeding 2-3 months. Naturally, it should resolve on its own. After ovulation, some women may experience slight bleeding in the cyst or through the vaginal canal, which can usually resolve without intervention. However, in some cases, if bleeding occurs in the abdominal cavity, urgent surgery may be necessary.”
<h2> 
How to Know When to Act</h2>
Although the risk of ovarian cysts turning cancerous is relatively low, it is not non-existent. Therefore, we should be vigilant. &#8220;If the cyst is natural and resolves on its own, treatment may simply involve taking birth control pills or receiving hormonal injections for a period. If the cyst disappears, surgery might not be necessary.&#8221; However, complications like cyst rupture or torsion may require emergency surgery, as neglecting these issues can lead to serious consequences.
<h2> 
A New Option: Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cysts</h2>
Laparoscopic surgery is a technique that allows for surgery in tight spaces, resulting in smaller wounds, less pain, and faster recovery. &#8220;The key to successful ovarian cyst surgery is not only having the right equipment in good condition but also ensuring that the surgeon and the operating team are well-trained and experienced in laparoscopic techniques. The surgeon must be able to assess whether laparoscopic surgery is more beneficial than traditional surgery and consider the patient&#8217;s preferences. Therefore, it&#8217;s essential to have a clear plan established between the doctor and the patient beforehand.&#8221;
<h2> 
How to Prevent Ovarian Cysts</h2>
Since ovarian cysts often do not present noticeable symptoms, many women may remain unaware of their presence. Regular internal examinations can be crucial for early detection. &#8220;Early detection is best. If you haven&#8217;t been examined recently, please do so—at least check your health with a preliminary ultrasound. Women over 30 or those who are married should have annual internal examinations, including Pap smears and transvaginal ultrasounds, which provide more accurate details about the ovaries and uterus than abdominal ultrasounds.&#8221;
