Is the recurrence rate of ovarian cysts high?

Patient's question:

I previously had an ovarian cyst, and later the doctor prescribed some medication which cured it. Because I felt I had many health issues, I wanted to buy insurance for myself, but I was denied coverage. I heard from others that gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence, and that's why I was rejected. This made me quite upset, so I'd like to ask: is the recurrence rate of ovarian cysts high?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts are a very common gynecological condition with a high recurrence rate. Once the reproductive system experiences inflammation again, it can easily lead to the development of ovarian cysts. Therefore, most ovarian cysts are inflammatory in nature, although sometimes they may be related to endocrine factors. If treated effectively, with proper attention paid to various aspects, it does not necessarily mean they will definitely recur. It is recommended that you wait until the ovarian cysts completely disappear before obtaining insurance. At that time, when undergoing ultrasound examination, no cysts will be detected.
Ovarian cysts can cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
