Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. I don't know much about this disease. How should I treat an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovarian cysts can be classified as physiological or pathological. The physiological ones can naturally disappear with the fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. Pathological cysts can affect fertility. Since pathological cysts often evolve from diseases, surgery is usually required to confirm the diagnosis and provide additional treatment. When a cyst is present, it is first necessary to determine whether it is physiological or pathological before taking any action. If MRI indicates that the cyst is anechoic and non-segmented, it can be carefully monitored for 3 months. After 3 months, a repeat MRI should be performed. If the cyst still exists, surgery should be considered.
