Do small ovarian cysts necessarily require surgery?

Patient's question:

Two months ago, the doctor who carefully examined and found a small ovarian cyst asked for a follow-up check-up in a year, prescribed medication for washing and applying ointment, and conducted a thorough examination at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Sometimes, I have stomach pain during my period. Today, for some reason, there is blood again, and I am a bit worried about how to get better.

Doctor's answer:

From your description, it seems that your condition may be due to an inflammatory infection causing abdominal pain. This situation is unrelated to ovarian cysts, and this small cyst will not cause the recurrence of adverse effects. Generally, if an ovarian cyst has good internal echoes and is relatively small, it is considered physiological and does not require treatment. It will also not lead to recurrent abdominal pain. Therefore, you can rest assured. Your current pain is likely due to inflammation. Treatment through oral and topical methods can help you recover from the inflammation more quickly, and this will alleviate the pain.
