Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital for a health check-up and found a 5 cm cyst in my ovary. How should I handle an ovarian cyst of 5 cm?Doctor's answer:
If the ovarian cyst is larger than five centimeters and symptoms reappear, it is recommended to undergo minimally invasive surgery to resolve the issue. If there are currently no symptoms, medication can be taken for a period of time to monitor the situation carefully. After starting medication, if the cyst shows significant growth, surgery may not be necessary, and treatment can focus solely on medication with conservative therapy. If there are no symptoms after medication, but the cyst grows rapidly within a short period, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
