Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing abdominal bloating and pain. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but later my family persuaded me to go to the hospital for a health check-up. After the check-up, the doctor told me that I had an ovarian cyst, which was discovered two days before my period. What should I do if an ovarian cyst is found two days before my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the abdominal bloating and pain you're experiencing may be caused by an ovarian cyst. First, have a gynecological ultrasound to carefully check the size of the cyst. If the cyst is not large, regular follow-up examinations are recommended. For those with an ovarian cyst two days before their period, you'll need to wait until after your period to have another gynecological ultrasound to carefully check the growth rate of the cyst. Additionally, ovarian cysts require tumor markers to rule out the possibility of malignancy. If the cyst is large, surgical removal may be an option, but first, careful observation is necessary.
