Introduction
Under normal circumstances, right adnexal cysts may be caused by genetic factors, follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, inflammatory stimulation, endometriosis, and other factors. Treatment varies depending on the specific situation. Patients with right adnexal cysts should undergo regular follow-up examinations to monitor changes in the cyst's size and morphology. Adequate rest is advised, along with avoiding strenuous exercise and pressure on the abdomen to prevent cyst torsion or rupture.
Under normal circumstances, right adnexal cysts may be caused by genetic factors, follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and other factors. Management depends on the specific situation.
1. Genetic factors: If female relatives in the family have a history of ovarian cysts or related diseases, the individual's risk of developing a right adnexal cyst may increase. It is recommended to undergo regular gynecological examinations, including ultrasound, for early detection of cysts.
2. Follicular cysts: During a woman's normal menstrual cycle, follicles develop and mature before ovulation occurs. If a follicle fails to rupture and release an egg, it may continue to enlarge and form a follicular cyst. If there are no obvious symptoms, special treatment is generally not required.
3. Corpus luteum cysts: These cysts form when the corpus luteum persists after ovulation and bleeds, causing fluid to accumulate and form a cyst. These cysts are usually benign and often resolve spontaneously with the menstrual cycle.
4. Pelvic inflammatory disease: Pelvic inflammatory disease is primarily caused by bacterial infection. The inflammation causes congestion, edema of the fallopian tube and ovarian mucosa, increased exudate, and eventual encapsulation forming a cyst. It is recommended to follow a physician's guidance for treatment with medications such as azithromycin capsules or ceftriaxone sodium for injection.
5. Endometriosis: Endometrial tissue appears outside the uterine cavity, such as in the right ovary, fallopian tubes, or other adnexal areas. These displaced endometrial tissues undergo cyclic bleeding along with the menstrual cycle, and the accumulation of blood locally can form cysts. It is recommended to follow a physician's guidance for treatment with medications such as drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, or naproxen capsules.
Patients with right adnexal cysts should schedule regular follow-up examinations to monitor changes in the cyst's size and morphology. Adequate rest is advised, along with avoiding strenuous physical activity and abdominal pressure to prevent cyst torsion or rupture.
