The treatment of gynecological cysts should be comprehensively considered based on the specific type, size, location of the cyst, as well as the patient's symptoms, age, and fertility requirements. Generally speaking, small asymptomatic cysts, such as physiological cysts, can be managed with regular observation, as most will resolve spontaneously without special treatment. For inflammatory cysts or cysts caused by endocrine disorders, drug therapy such as antibiotics and hormones may be used to relieve symptoms, control inflammation, and regulate endocrine function. If the cyst is large, symptomatic, affects fertility, or is suspected to be malignant, surgical treatment is required. Surgical options include laparoscopic surgery and open abdominal surgery, with the specific choice determined by the cyst characteristics and patient preference. Patients should select appropriate treatment methods under a doctor's guidance to avoid adverse impacts on treatment outcomes.
